Urgent Need for Footwear

Soles4Souls has an URGENT Need for Footwear and/or Cash for Shipping Shoes to Areas of Devastation.

As you are probably aware, Hurricane Season is now upon us. We already have responded to distress calls for footwear in Haiti, Jamaica, and other parts of the Gulf region. Our stock is in desperate need of replenishing and we need your help to reach out to people in dire need.

Hurricane Dean is now a Category 5 storm (the last one this large was Katrina) that is barreling toward Mexico and Belize. We know the damage from this storm will be serious and the proper footwear will be extremely appreciated for rescuers and individuals looking to rebuild from the rubble. Imagine trying to clean up in the dangerous aftermath while barefoot!

Please contact us at 866-521-7463 or email us at info@soles4souls.org. With your gift, we can make a simple yet extremely timely difference to thousands of people.
