Soles4Souls
The
local non-profit organization AreUKind.org, founded by two Lexington
kids, Josh and Jacob Griffin are on a mission to collect 25,000 pairs of
shoes for the global non-profit Soles4Souls. Soles4Souls distributes
new and used shoes to developing nations and disaster stricken areas all
around the world in an effort to help break the cycle of poverty. Veterans
Park will be hosting the collection efforts here and ask that you clean
out your closets and bring in all of your used and no longer worn shoes
any day between March 3 – March 28, any size, any kind and in any
condition.
There will be a box located outside Mrs. Fox’s Office where you can
deposit your shoes each day. There are 300 million children worldwide
who live without shoes, so together we can help to make a big difference.
