Shoes! What’s the big deal?? It’s a basic luxury that we take for granted every day, as we choose our favorite pair from our closet floor. Many of us are unaware that millions of people across our globe live barefoot lives. Often, these feet are the only form of transportation available, carrying them everywhere they need to go. Because of the insanitary conditions of their roads and paths, diseases often spread through the open sores on their feet. A pair of new or gently used shoes is a simple cure to prevent many of these diseases. It is estimated that over one billion pairs of unworn shoes are taking up space in U.S. basements and closets. Some are outdated or outgrown but many of them are in good condition and considered a treasure in a third world country.
Can you imagine how this will change a village, once we put these forgotten shoes on the feet of those who need them most? Shoes will be gifted to needy children ages 0-15 years; Toddler to Adult Size 12.
This is why Soles For Jesus is, “Changing lives- two by two!”
