IA HOSA Shoe Drive: An Easy Way to Create a Huge Difference
February 13, 2025 2025-11-17 22:50IA HOSA Shoe Drive: An Easy Way to Create a Huge Difference
IA HOSA has joined forces with Funds2Orgs to kick off a Shoe Drive Fundraiser, and we’re calling on everyone in the IA community—students, parents, and staff—to help us hit our target! In the coming weeks, we’ll gather worn, used, and new shoes to support small business owners in Africa and save countless shoes from ending up in landfills.
Why Should You Give? The shoes you give will go to small businesses in Africa where local entrepreneurs will sell them again to earn a steady income. This campaign will support over 4,000 small businesses while also cutting down on waste and boosting environmental sustainability.
Our Target: We want to gather 100 bags of shoes—that’s 2,500 pairs! With help from students, families, and staff, we’re confident we can hit this mark.
How to Give
📍 Drop-Off Spot: Mrs. Holmes’ Room (Innovation Academy)
👟 What You Need: Shoes in good condition – new or used (Look at the Dos and Don’ts sign by the collection box!)
📆 When to Bring: Over the coming weeks
Get Volunteer Time!
Each pair of shoes you give gets you:
✔ 1 hour of volunteer time (works for NHS, BETA, and more)
✔ 1 HOSA hour
Bring your own shoes, and shoes from friends and family to make a bigger difference!
Want to verify your hours?
📸 Snap a photo of your donation and ask Mrs. Holmes to sign off on your hours.
Hey Students and Parents!
This offers an easy way to give back, help small businesses, and protect the environment—while you earn volunteer hours! Parents, think about donating shoes your family doesn’t wear anymore. Every pair matters!
If you have any questions, please feel free to email Vasumathi Rajaji (vrajaji7@gmail.com) or Mrs. Selena Holmes (holmess9@fultonschools.org).
Let’s join forces as a community and create change. Begin collecting your shoes now!
