sole man

mr. & mrs. skippy have given their old shoes to soles 4 souls, specifically for use in the haiti disaster:

soles4souls inc. has announced project haiti, a grassroots campaign to engage the general public in collecting footwear and funds for victims of the 7.0 earthquake that devastated the western hemisphere's poorest country. participants can create a customized page on the charity's website to raise footwear and funds that will be designated for haiti relief projects.

"we have fielded thousands of phone calls and emails from people around the country wanting to roll up their sleeves and help mobilize their communities," said wayne elsey, founder and ceo of the shoe charity. "project haiti is designed to do that by encouraging people to clean out their closets and donate gently worn shoes to one of our many collection partners," he said.
w/all the debris on the ground, and especially because the haitians were incredibly poor even before this disaster hit, it is imperative to get footwear to people there so they can move around more freely.


go here to find a location near you to take your old shoes.
