Soles4Souls was featured on the NBC's nightly news "Making a Difference" segment last Weekend. The series was conceived in response to viewers who complain that the broadcast features only "bad" news on their nightly news. On Sunday, it was Soles4Souls turn to bring some good news into thousands of American living rooms.
"Making a Difference" showed Soles4Souls staff and founder Wayne Elsey handing out over 300 pairs of shoes to New York City children who needed them. It also talked about the history of Soles4Souls and the role it played in helping the victims of the Asian Tsunami and Hurricane Katrina.
NBC correspondent Rehema Ellis reported, "for Americans that buy a lot of shoes, Elsey says the right thing to do is to donate the more than one billion pairs of shoes that sit idle in closets to people that don't have the same luxuries."
