Our MissionMission Statement:

The Soleful Five is a dedicated group of five students who want to make an impact on are surrounding community by promoting recycling awareness, education and sustainability. Through our combined effort in launching a “Soles 4 Souls” shoe drive, we hope to show that a small group of students can make a greater difference in peoples lives around the world.

Project Description:The Soleful Five will host a shoe drive where people can recycle their shoes which will be donated to children around the world. Our sponsoring organization for this event is the “Soles for Souls” organization. We plan to hold the event in late November, to promote America Recycles Day. Our team will promote the event around campus and our surrounding communities via flyers, radio, and local cable television broadcasts.
