Soles for Souls: 50,000 pairs in 50 days challenge.
Do you have an extra $5 to spare today?
Maybe a latte you don’t necessarily need.
Maybe sacrificing a trip to the restaurant and just making a sandwich at home instead.
Maybe watching TV instead of renting a movie.
Maybe avoiding that impulse buy at the grocery store.
And maybe, if you don’t have $5 to spare, it’s asking others to come together to make $5. Through work, Facebook, Myspace, e-mail, pidgeon, you can find $5!
I don’t know about you, but the shoes I normally buy are anywhere from $30 to $100. And I have more than one pair. There are countless amount of feet that belong to kiddos and adults that go unprotected everyday and for just $5 I can buy two pairs for these feet?
I’m signing up. Will you?
p.s. - Did I mention you could possibly win a trip to Mexico to deliver these shoes too? That’s right!
