Soles4Souls Set Out to Tour the Country with Footwear News, AGAIN!

Reaching out to College Campuses to Get Involved with the Shoe Mission

This March, Soles4Souls is hitting the road again in their custom wrapped RV visiting college campuses across the nation. Soles4Souls hopes to spread the word about Soles4Souls as well as get college students engaged in the mission of Soles4Souls.

Supported by the Footwear Industry

Once again, the footwear industry has stepped up to support the University Tour. Brands like FN, Asics, Jellypop, Yellowbox, Zodiac, Minnetonka, Michael Antonio, and Vans are supporting the tour by lending a hand at events and sponsoring the RV.

Who's Driving the RV?

Melissa and Heath Bain were born and raised in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, both with a musical background and a heart for helping people in need. After traveling with Soles4Souls, they wanted to do more and came on board for the University Tour.

The best part of working with Soles4Souls for Heath and Melissa is the opportunity to help meet the immense need for something as simple as shoes.  “Seeing firsthand the condition of Haiti, changed my view on ‘helping people.'  To see a need and meet it is not a luxury; it’s a responsibility.  And a beautiful one at that.”

 “I think most people truly want to help make the world a better place; they just don’t really know how, don’t know where to start.  When we begin to consider the magnitude of need and suffering all around us, it’s just too easy to think that there is nothing that we as individuals can do about it.  I grateful for the opportunity to travel around the country and introduce to young people some ways that they can get involved and make an impact.”

Heath and Melissa were married on November 6th, 2010, and will spend their first year together as newlyweds, traveling the country on the Soles4Souls University RV Tour.
