Soles for Souls
We at Double Churches are joining Delta Air Lines in their drive to help provide shoes for the 2,000,000 or more who were left homeless by the earthquake in Haiti. Simply send gently worn or nearly new usable shoes to school with your student. Delta will see that they are delivered to Haitian people in need. Also. Parents, maybe you can mention this to folks with whom you work. Thank you in advance for this effort.
