Soles4Souls… continued Haiti relief effort.

Long after the headlines stop focusing on Haiti, Soles4Souls — the Nashville-based charity that collects shoes from warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you — continues to collect and distribute shoes to families in need. Their organization distributes these shoes, free of charge, to people around the world. Since 2005, Soles4Souls has given away more than 7 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes (currently distributing one pair every 9 seconds). The shoes have been distributed in 125 countries, including Haiti, Kenya, Nepal and the United States. In fact, in the time it takes you to read this post, they will have distributed another 6+ pair.

There are ways you can help. Searching their site by your zip code (go to “about” and click “participation locations”), you’ll find several locations where you can drop off gently-used and new shoes. Or, you can follow them on Facebook, Twitter and watch them on YouTube. And of course, visit www.giveshoes.org for more information.
