Our Mission:
Soles4Souls has a simple mission: To impact as many lives as possible with the gift of shoes.
Our History:
We originally began as a loose group of people, churches, ministries, and companies that saw a simple need and decided to try and meet it. After the Asian Tsunami in December 2004, we rallied what footwear we could from sources all over the world and saw that it was possible to get large numbers of donated shoes.
Hurricane Katrina prompted us to create a website specifically for the purpose of getting footwear to the displaced people in the Gulf Region of the United States. The website, www.katrinashoes.org, was a big success, and we helped raise almost a million pairs of shoes, all of which were donated to the people who needed them most. We received some very large donations from footwear companies, retailers, churches, nonprofit ministries, civic groups, schools, and individuals and saw that this could become a full-time ministry. That's why Soles4Souls was created -- to facilitate the donations from these groups to the people who desperately need footwear.
