Shoes for the Souls

About

Shoes for Orphan Souls, has distributed more than 1.5 million pairs of new shoes to at-risk children in the United States and to orphans in 55 countries around the world. While our program has made a difference in many lives, there are still millions of children we can reach – all through a pair of shoes.

We are seeking donations of new shoes, socks and shoelaces from individuals, corporations, churches and civic groups. Background Shoes for Orphan Souls began as Shoes for Russian Souls in 1995 by KCBI radio in Dallas, Texas. Buckner International assumed leadership of the program in 1999 and changed the name to reflect our world-wide reach. Established in 1879, Buckner been working to improve the lives of children by providing humanitarian aid, transitional living and foster care services, domestic and international adoption, and support programs for children living in orphanages around the world.

The Need According to The State of the World’s Children as reported by Unicef, there are 143 million orphans around the world. Orphanages do not receive enough funding to support the children in their care. One of the greatest and most immediate needs is a pair of shoes. Many of the children receive one pair of shoes to last the entire year, and some don’t have shoes at all. Get Involved There are several ways you can help: Donate a new pair of shoes, socks or laces.

To all my Keneva Friends

I have become very involved in civic duties and charitable works over the last few years. As you know it is truly more blessed to give than receive. Even Bill Clinton, in his book Giving said the number one reason people give to charity is because it makes them feel good.

I learned of the efforts of children throughout my endeavors and realized that a small undertakings, such as providing shoes would make a huge difference to those in need.

Thank you and hopefully we together will give these children shoes. For those who are able to participate, I thank you in advance for your generousity.

Best regards

SHOES FOR ORPHAN SOULS SHOE DRIVE

Did you ever really think about not being able to afford shoes. I'm not talking about designer shoes - just everyday sneakers. Could you imagine walking to school, work or the store barefoot because you did not own a pair of shoes? Would your feet hurt? Would they be cold in the winter, hot in the summer? Would they bleed?

The First United Methodist Church in my area is hosting a shoe drive in conjunction with Shoes for Orphan Souls during the months of July and August.

The children attending vacation bible school, along with civic leaders in the area, will be participating in events to help provide shoes for at-risk children in the U.S. and to orphans in 55 countries around the world. Their goal is to provide 200 pairs of shoes, socks and shoelaces.

We would like to ask you to consider supporting our efforts with a donation of a new pair of youth shoes, socks or shoelaces. This gift will truly make a difference in the life of a child.
