Soles4Souls Shoe Collection Week Begins April 10th

St. Andrew Lutheran Church, and Marcy's Planet Shoes are partnering to launch Soles4Souls shoe collection week for the region - April 10th - April 17th!!!

We're hearing about churches,civic groups, schools, and businesses planning to participate and hope this includes you! We have a limited number of donated fiberglass barrels that will be great for collecting shoes at your location. Just let us know if you're interested, and we'll work out the details!

We're accepting shoes from the entire regional area, including Illinois. If you're north, south, east, or west of here, just load up your vehicle with shoes and come to Cape! There's a lot of space to fill in the donated Genesis trailer!

Would you please consider adding this information to your school newsletter, church bulletin, web site, local newspaper, Twitter or Facebook account? There's tons of info on the Soles4Souls' web site, including downloadable graphics and photos. Learn more at: http://www.soles4souls.org/

What about the people you work with? Would your department, or floor, take up this project to send new or gently worn shoes to people in need? Do you work at a grocery or retail store that would consider collecting shoes? There's 5K runs happening now, and that means runners, and walkers, may have shoes they consider worn out --- but these would be great to donate!

Rummage sales are a great place to find shoes to donate, and also your closets at home!!!

Any shoes, for any season, can be donated. Yes, cowboy boots, hiking boots, hunting boots, too!

Marcy's Planet Shoes, along with St. Andrew Lutheran Church, is hoping to heighten the awareness in our community of Soles4Souls, and collect thousands of pairs of shoes!

Our collection week begins on April 10th and ends on Palm Sunday, April 17th. The Lenten season is a time of reflection for many people, and we hope everyone would consider donating shoes to those who have no shoes at all.

Volunteers are needed to help us sort shoes, pack the cartons, and move them into the trailer. Would you spend a few hours to help us fill the trailer? Please let us know, and thanks for your prayers and support of Soles4Souls! Call Cheryl at 573-579-3408 or prayer_abounds@yahoo.com
