Soles 4 Souls
Changing the World - One Pair at a Time®
For several months, NAPO Ohio members have been organizing shoe collection drives to benefits the Souls 4 Soles program.
 When we first arrived, it was just like any other organizing project -- where to start?!  Members - Ellen Limes, Andi Smith, Julie Riber, Karen Kruzan, Birdie Brennan, and Terry Cowans - picked a pile to sort, bind, and pack the shoes in boxes for shipment to Soles 4 Souls.  
The garage that started out filled with bags, boxes and piles of shoes! With a great team effort, the shoes were bagged, tagged and ready to go in just two hours!
Thank you to all who donated and to the members that helped with this special project.

Shoe companies, retailers, and individuals can donate footwear (both new and used). Soles4Souls has a simple concept: they procure shoes and get them to those in need.
