Soles 4 Souls is "changing the world one pair at a time." What an awesome charity providing new and gently used shoes to those who need them. Most recently Soles 4 Souls has been making a difference by providing shoes to earthquake victims in Haiti and Chile. Make sure you check out their website at www.soles4souls.org and take a look around at all they are doing. If you have 1 or 2 pairs of shoes to donate, click on the participation location link, put in your zip code and stores accepting individual donations in your area will display. They also can provide you with information on how to host a shoe drive if you would like to help in that way. You can also use your cell phone to collect funds for Soles4Souls! Through Mobile Giving, you and others can simply text the word SHOES to 20222 and donate through your mobile carrier!
from the website:
Soles4Souls has a simple concept: we get shoes and give them away. Soles4Souls is a Nashville-based charity that collects shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you. The charity distributes these shoes free of charge to people in need, regardless of race, religion, class, or any other criteria. Since 2005, Soles4Souls has given away over 7 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes (currently donating one pair every 9 seconds.) The shoes have been distributed to people in over 125 countries, including Kenya, Thailand, Nepal and the United States.
