Students from Foothills Christian School were at the Great Falls Rescue Mission to drop off presents on Wednesday.

"Soles For Souls" is an annual gift drive that started with students collecting gently-warn shoes for the Rescue Mission.

It's evolved into dozens of shoe boxes wrapped and full of presents for kids of all ages, and this year is the biggest load yet.

Foothills student government hosts the toy drive, but almost all Foothills students get involved.

Natalie McKay, the Student Council secretary, noted, "Having them start at such a young age, they get excited for when they are in high school and they can be heading this up, and we get people excited about being in student council. Also it prepares them for life. I mean we are going to be doing this the rest of our lives seeing people less fortunate and being able to help them and we want them to be excited about that."

Foothills students will also help hand out presents and serve dinner next week at the Rescue Mission's children's Christmas party.
