News for 10/23/2024

SOLES 4 SOULS

KAYS is hosting a shoe and clothing drive for Soles4Souls organization as their world service project. The group will collect items from October 23-December 4. There will be collection boxes at KSC, the elementary/middle/high schools, as well as the local churches, including at TFC. 


Here is what Soles4Souls says about collecting items: Soles4Souls only accepts shoes and clothing that are new and gently used. Gently used means no obvious or significant wear and tear, no holes, no mud or excessive staining, or items with broken/missing parts.

Items collected will be shipped free of charge to the organization. They, in turn, offer the items to people trying to create and sustain small businesses. The trifold effect is: Education: there is an 87% improved quality education and regular attendance for their children; Leadership: 80% assumed at least one community leadership role; Health: 92% improved family health and nutrition. They help turn clothing and shoes into opportunities!

Plenty of open spots!! The first blood drive of the school year will be held on Thursday, October 31, at the high school.
