We are committed to increasing awareness of our students for others who may be in need. Our efforts begin in the classrooms and extend far around the globe. Here are just some of our partners.
Memorial Park Christian Preschool partners with the overseas relief group, Soles for Jesus, to collect new and gently used shoes that will make a life-changing difference in the life of children and adults in about 30 African countries. These shoes are a blessing to the people and a tool that opens doors for sharing the Gospel. Boxes are located outside of the preschool wing hall door, in The HUB, and in the entryway of the Clayton Center for shoe collection.
Ways you can help:
Sort through your shoes at home and bring in gently used pairs (please rubber band or tie each pair together);
Browse the clearance racks in various stores;
Write a check out to SolesforJesus.org to help defray shipping costs (drop off in the office or offering plate).
Consider your sphere of influence (family/neighborhood/school/work place) and how you can publicize this shoe drive as an extension of what we’re doing here.
Children have the opportunity to shop in our Christmas Store for family members and friends. Proceeds are used to buy gift cards (Giant Eagle, Target, etc.) for preschool families in need.
Near Valentine’s Day we solicit toilet paper, cereal, peanut butter, and canned goods for either the North Hills Community Outreach Center Food Bank (an MPC mission partner) or The Light House in Southern Bulter County.
