Every 17 seconds, Soles4Souls Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. The shoe charity has earned glowing endorsements from Hollywood stars and professional athletes, but the people that truly make the non-profit organization effective are those who clean out their closets to personally drop off their “gently worn” shoes at participating locations.

During the weeks of January 2 through January 24, 2010, we will be collecting your gently worn footwear to be shipped through Soles4Souls to a person in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme poverty. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone’s life.

“We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to change the world one pair at a time,” the founder of “Soles4Souls” stated.

Our drop-off sites from January 2 through January 24, 2010 are:
H. Olive Day School
Freeman/Centennial School
King Philip Middle School
King Philip Regional High School
Norfolk Town Library
Norfolk Town Hall
Carols Place
Norfolk Senior Center
St. Jude’s Catholic Church
Emmanuel Baptist Church
Blessed Sacrament, Walpole
