The earthquake and tsunami that devastated Japan last week have left many of us wondering how we can help. Soles 4 Souls is an organization put in place to do just that – give us a way to contribute to those less fortunate. It was formed in 2004 when its founder was inspired by footage of a single shoe floating ashore after the tsunami in the Indian Ocean. Soles 4 Souls has since donated gently used shoes to third world countries all around the world.
Their current focus is to provide those in Japan with shoes so that they may safely walk among the wreckage left behind by this brutal, natural disaster. For those who have lost everything, a simple pair of shoes can mean the world.
Please consider helping Soles 4 Soul’s effort in any way that you can. To find a participating location where you can drop off your new or gently used shoes, visit Soles 4 Souls Locations. Can’t find a location in your area? Helping is as simple as texting SHOES to 20222 to donate $5.00.
