Soles4Souls Helps Provide Rescue & Relief to Middle Tennessee Storm Victims
Record weekend storms forced thousands of Middle Tennessee residents to take refuge in emergency shelters set up throughout the area. Nearly 20 inches of rain in a two day period has caused deadly flooding, taking lives, closing over 150 streets and highways, and forcing thousands of residents to flee their homes by cars if possible, but often by rescue boats.
Soles4Souls, with its international headquarters in Nashville, has committed to provide at least 20,000 pairs of shoes and workboots to their neighbors who have fled their homes, in many cases with only the “clothes on their back.” These shoes will provide warmth, protection, and a sense of normalcy in a world that has turned upside down.
Your emergency help today will help us deliver shoes tomorrow to our neighbors in Middle Tennessee. It will also help us provide workboots to the volunteers and professionals conducting rescue operations to those who are stranded. $1 will help provide one set of footwear. $20 will help 20 people in need. $50 will help 50 men, women, and children in Middle Tennessee. Please help.
