I have recently gotten involved with an awesome charity and I wanted to share their story and mission! Soles4Souls creates sustainable jobs and provides relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. They have provided more than 30 million pairs of new and gently-worn shoes to give relief and create economic opportunities. Since 2006 Soles4Souls has distributed shoes to people in need in 127 countries and all 50 states in the U.S. Also, their work has kept 23.7 million pounds of shoes and clothing out of landfills.
It’s incredibly easy to help! If you have any old shoes that you no longer wear, or shoes your children have outgrown, instead of throwing them away, please donate them to this charity. Just drop them off at Whole Foods in Highlands Ranch, and they will mail the shoes for you to Soles4Souls. The best part of this charity is that when you have shoes that are slightly worn, Soles4Souls hires people to fix them, which is providing a job, and the shoes are able to be reused by a person that really needs them. Check out their website for more information. They are also looking for volunteers as well as monetary donations to help them – help others in need.
