SOLES4SOULS - Your club is participating in this project along with the Mount Vernon Lions Club, by collecting gently used shoes (that's right, footwear), which will be gathered and shipped to Soles for Souls headquarters.  Soles4Souls helps get new shoes and clothing to people in crisis situations, freeing up financial resources they can use toward other needs. Soles4Souls partners with community-based nonprofit organizations in developing countries to help entrepreneurs start and grow businesses that sell donated shoes and clothing.Soles4Souls partners with schools across the U.S. to get new athletic shoes to children who are experiencing homelessness, eliminating a barrier to educational and extracurricular opportunities.Soles4Souls cares for our planet and for people by extending the life of shoes and clothing that might’ve otherwise been prematurely discarded.

Bag up your gently worn shoes, and bring them with you to the next Club meeting.  President Jeff, or another club member, will then arrange to transport collected shoes to Mount Vernon, to be assembled and shipped.
