Shoes 2 Share (formerly Soles 2 Share) was formed when one special family starting spending time in Haiti. This family was bringing two Haitian children into their home but they weren't prepared to stop giving to children in need.
Every time they would visit Haiti, they would take along suitcases full of "like new" and "gently used" shoes to distribute to children that they came into contact with in the orphanages and on the streets. But it was very clear to them that their own personal efforts weren't nearly enough to meet the needs of these kids. And so the ministry began. They started approaching businesses, churches and schools for help and things have begun to grow from there. In fact, they currently have so many shoes in their warehouse in Wilmington, Deleware, that they are now asking for help to sort, clean, categorize and repack the shoes.
If you'd like to donate shoes, there are currently drop off sites in Maryland and there is currently a shoe drive going on in Exton, Pennsylvania. Click here to learn more information
You can also contact Rhonda via email info@shoes2share.com with any questions you have, to volunteer your time or to collect their information so that you can send them a donation.
