Mineral Springs FCCLA Holds Shoe Drive

Mineral Springs FCCLA held a shoe drive for the Ozark Water Projects. An organization that uses the shoes to raise money to build water wells in Haiti and Africa. In these countries, many children and families go without clean water sources. Children often walk 6 miles or more 3 times a day to locate water. These children are unable to attend school as their primary job is to help their families survive. The shoes are sold to a buyer and the money the organization gets is used to build wells and change the future for these children and families. Mineral Springs FCCLA was able to collect more than 18 large garbage bags of shoes to donate. Monday, April 8th we met with the founder to drop off our donations. Our FCCLA members were grateful to get an opportunity to be a part of something life changing for the children and families of Haiti and Africa.
