THS’ Student Government Association Helps Those in Need
with a Shoe Drive Jan. 30-Feb. 24

TITUSVILLE, FLORIDA – Titusville High School’s (THS) Student Government Association (SGA) invites all Brevard County residents to recycle their 'gently worn' shoes to people in need.  Titusville High School’s SGA has partnered with Soles4Souls Inc. who is committed to collecting and distributing shoes to people living in extreme poverty and recovering from natural disasters.  The shoe charity provides one pair of shoes to a person in need every seven seconds. Since 2005, Soles4Souls has distributed more than 13 million pairs of shoes because of the generosity and commitment of people and organizations like Titusville High School’s SGA.

Soles4Souls and Titusville High School will be collecting new or gently worn footwear and/or donations from January 30 through February 24. Donations can be dropped off at Titusville High School in the guidance office during school hours (attn: Mrs. Roberts).  Each donor will receive a free T-Shirt (while supplies last)!
