Ada Pathway is further reaching out to help the poor and needy, this time in conjunction with Soles4Souls. The Soles4Souls organization facilitates an on-going "shoe drive", and we are now accepting new and gently-used shoes to be donated to Soles4Souls and distributed to those in need.
Some quick facts:
- More than 1.5 billion adults worldwide do not have footwear
- More than 300 million children worldwide do not have footwear
- Soles4Souls has given away over 15 million pairs of shoes to date, currently delivering a pair every seven seconds
There is a donation bin in the church lobby, and we will be sending our first shipment of shoes on November 15, 2011. Over the next three weeks, why not do a little "fall cleaning," go through your closets, and donate a few pairs of shoes?
