Shoe and Sock Drive for Haiti

Middle school coaches in C-FB ISD are being innovative in an effort to raise donations for the children of Haiti. The coaches went barefoot on Feb. 1 and 2 to encourage students, families and community members to donate items towards a shoe and sock drive. Eric Costa, athletic coordinator at Barbara Bush Middle School, is organizing the drive for all the middle schools. Donations of new shoes and socks in any size can be dropped off at any C-FB ISD middle school.

The new shoes and socks are being collected for Samaritan's Feet during February to be shipped to Haiti. Donors can also contribute $5 by texting SHOES to 85944 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. That will help buy a pair of shoes for a child in Haiti by adding a one-time charge of $5 to your phone bill.
