50,000 in 50 days?

The 50,000 Pairs in 50 Days Challenge

I get hit up on a pretty regular basis to support a lot of good causes. I wish I could support ALL of them but here’s one I think just about anyone can and should support. Here’s three reasons…

1) It’s easy

2) You can afford to.

3) It’s the right thing to do.

A company located just outside of Nashville called  Soles4Souls is launching a campaign to have 50,000 pairs of shoes donated in 50 days! All someone needs to do is make a $5 donation which buys TWO PAIRS of shoes! Go to 50000shoes.com to donate $5!

Help out the 300 million children worldwide that do not have one pair of shoes!

We can do no great things, only small things with great love.  ~Mother Teresa

    Glad to see you picked this one. I wish they had a counter somewhere so we could see how things were progressing.

    Great cause, we collected almost 1,400 pairs of shoes at the NW Oklahoma City Campus of LifeChurch.tv for a similar cause.

    $5? I’ve obviously been paying way too much for shoes.

    My husband and I are also asked daily to support different people and causes and we always support every single cause we are made aware of. Sometimes it is a large $3000 grant, sometimes it is $10, and sometimes it is just the change in the bottom of my purse to the guy standing on the street corner. Thanks for the heads up on another opportunity to give! Shelby
