Good Samaritan Lutheran Church Announces Shoe Drive

Good Samaritan Lutheran Church ANNOUNCES SHOE DRIVE AT 8425 Windmill Throughout March 2010.

SW Las Vegas residents are invited to recycle their “gently worn” shoes for people in need as we Go Barefoot4Haiti.

For a limited time, Soles4Souls and Good Samaritan will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or donations to ship the shoes to a person in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme poverty.  It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets.  The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone's life.

“We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to change the world one pair at a time,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls.  “We need our partners in Las Vegas to 'STEP UP' and get behind our call for action.  It’s one of the most simple yet profound gifts you can make, because it will greatly improve someone’s life in the most difficult of times,” he said.

Good Samaritan is located at 8425 W. Windmill, Las Vegas. Shoes will be collected throughout the month of March.
