Youth Group Shoe Drive for Soles4Souls

Join All Saints’ youth groups by donating gently used shoes.


All shoes will be brought to Soles4Soles where they will sort and send them to micro-enterprise programs in developing countries around the world. Soles4Souls programs, 4Opportunity, 4Relief, and 4EveryKid, aim to make a positive difference on the planet and in people's economic, educational, physical, and psychosocial well-being.


Since 2006, more than 83 million pairs of shoes and pieces of clothing have helped create opportunities for people across 129 countries.


If you don’t have any shoes to donate, monetary donations will be passed along to help Sole4Souls ship the shoes collected to their partners around the world, as well as help to fund their 4EveryKid program (where every $20 collected provides a new pair of shoes to a child experiencing homelessness in the United States).
