October Service Project

We just wanted to let you know that our October service project is coming up. We are going to be working with the Soles4Souls Foundation. For those of you that have not heard of this... it is such a wonderful cause and we are so grateful to be a part of it. We really want to encourage you to bring your families, we are having the children make cards for our soldiers over in Afghanistan and there will also be lots of yummy treats to enjoy!! Everything you need to know about this night is listed below. Hailey and Nicole have done such an amazing job with setting all of this up for all of us to enjoy, we hope you are all able to come out and show your support. We would like to ask each of you to tell as many people as you can. You can simply call and/or email out to family and friends and hopefully we can get as many people to contribute as possible! We rock ladies, let's see how many shoes we can collect and how many smiles we can bring to our soldiers faces :) We love you girls and hope to see you all very soon!!
Love, Liz & Liz

"Soles4Souls is a Nashville-based charity that collects shoes from the warehouses of footwear companies and the closets of people like you. The charity distributes these shoes to people in need, regardless of race, religion, class, or any other criteria. Since 2005, Soles4Souls has delivered over 19 million pairs of new and gently worn shoes. The shoes have been distributed to people in over 125 countries, including Kenya, Thailand, Nepal and the United States."

Any kind of shoe can be donated, even mismatched pairs. " When we receive the shoes you collect, we will grade them according to the condition. "A" grade shoes are "like new" or "gently worn" and will be delivered to victimes of natural disasters or abject poverty. "B" and "C" grade shoes require clean up or repair and will be sent to developing nations to support people escaping poverty through their own micro-enterprise business."
