Shoes for Haiti - RESPONSE!



THANK YOU!!! Between everyone who helped out, we were able to donate more than 75 pairs of athletic shoes in decent condition to the people of Haiti! AND - many of you donated shoes that were not athletic shoes, and God provided wonderful opportunities for those as well. Our local Church was collecting Crocs and Croc-type shoes to send to 100+ specific people in Honduras. We had about 10 pairs of nice Crocs to donate. I had packaged up the remaining shoes to take to Goodwill and donate them when I had heard about another opportunity to donate SHOES! The local mall was hosting a shoe drive for an organization called Soles for Souls. "Soles for Souls is a Nashville-based charity that collects shoes from warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you (and me). The charity distributes these shoes to people in need. regardless of race, religion, class, or any other criteria." 


So THANKY YOU for taking a bit of time to clean out your closest and help someone in need!
