MSC FLI Goes Barefoot to Support Soles4Souls

MSC FLI hosted its first Soles 4 Souls campus-wide shoe drive on November 3-7. This community service project collected new and gently used shoes for the global not-for-profit, Soles4Souls, which benefits victims of natural disasters and children in orphanages in the United States and overseas. The mission of Soles4Souls is to fight the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty through two methods. The organization distributes shoes and clothing directly to people in need as well as sells these items to micro-organizations that create self-sustaining jobs to generate revenue for communities in need. This year 150 pairs of shoes were donated at drop-off boxes in the Memorial Student Center and Commons. Representatives of MSC FLI took the donated shoes to a drop center in Austin, TX over Thanksgiving break.



In addition to the shoe drive, MSC FLI hosted a “Barefoot for Them” day on Friday, November 7. At least 80 people visited FLI’s booth in the 12th Man Hall and received temporary tattoos to decorate their bare feet. The idea behind “Barefoot for Them” day is to spread awareness and let others experience what it is like to sacrifice or go without something as simple as shoes for a day.

Micaela Allen ’17, sophomore from Round Rock, TX, is the Executive Director of International Service and Outreach for MSC FLI. She joined FLI as a freshman because of the organization’s international focus and the opportunity it gave her to challenge herself as a global leader. For the past two years Micaela has learned to be a leader among leaders and has made a difference on local, state, and global levels through service and outreach. Micaela is serving as an Executive for FLI this year to ensure that other freshmen receive the same opportunities to give back that she received last year.
