Schroeder Elementary School Shoe Collection - We recognize that the giving does

not stop when the giving season does. Therefore, Step On Poverty is hosting a shoe

collection at Schroeder Elementary School from January 23rd to January 27th. You

can help communities all around the world by donating lightly used pairs of shoes,

boots, sandals, dress shoes, etc. to boxes located next to the main office! We

recognize education as a crucial component to community development, so it is only

fitting we begin charity outreach at Schroeder Elementary School. Help us Step On

Poverty one step at a time. Step On Poverty (SOP) is a non-profit organization

founded in Troy, Michigan by a group of students from both Athens and Troy High

School. Our Board includes Varun Aitharaju (Athens), Varun Sathyan (Athens), Neha
