Your generosity made this possible! We collected 126 pairs of shoes, meeting and exceeding our goal. Thank you to everyone who donated and supported this effort. All of them were delivered today to Soles4Souls. Together, we're helping make a difference—one pair at a the time while we reduce - reuse and recycle!

Your donation of 126 pairs of shoes helps the planet and helps someone move forward.
You diverted 157 pounds from going to local landfills, reducing the environmental impact of these unwanted shoes and clothing by extending their lifespan. We keep your donations in use for as long as possible which reduces their CO2 impact per wear.
Your donations can create $1,140 of economic opportunity for families and communities around the world through our 4Opportunity and 4Relief programs. This means more money in their pockets to use towards necessities, education, and economic opportunities for their families.
In countries like Haiti and Honduras, your donations can provide consistent, quality food, housing and education for a family for 47 days. Soles4Souls Lisa O'Keefe

We truly appreciate the amazing teachers and staff at Thomas Elementary! A special thank you to Walmart Supercenter #2883 for your generosity, and to the International Women’s Club for making this possible.

May 4–8 was Teacher Appreciation Week. If you haven’t had a chance to treat the teachers at your neighborhood school, there’s still time to show your support! Teachers should be appreciated every day.
