SOLES4SOULS INFORMATION GATHERING

at Messiah Lutheran Church, South Williamsport

Saturday, April 13 (8:30-11:30 a.m.)

Do your children have shoes they have outgrown? Do you have shoes that are outmoded but still useful? If so, SOLES4SOULS is in need of them. What is “SOLES4SOULS”?? Messiah’s Women of the ELCA invite interested persons to an ‘Information Gathering” at Messiah Lutheran Church, 324 S. Howard Street, South Williamsport, to hear Abby Yorks of Middleburg explain the goals and scope of this non-profit organization that was established in 2006 to create sustainable jobs and provide relief through the distribution of shoes and clothing around the world. To date the organization has given 94 million pairs of shoes and pieces of clothing to people in 138 countries and all 50 US States. A Continental Breakfast will be served from 8:30 to 9:00, followed by two hour-long presentations with Abby giving an overview of SOLES4SOULS, explaining her involvement as the Pennsylvania representative for the non-profit and how S4S is working to eradicate poverty here and around the world. Please register your church group or as an individual by April 1st by calling Brenda Cromley (570-506-4698). There is no registration fee, but we do ask that you give a free-will offering for SOLES4SOULS during the Closing Devotions and also, if possible, bring donations of shoes (for children and adults).

DONATIONS – All styles, sizes, genders (in wearable condition) are acceptable, but NOT loose shoes laces, shoe stretchers/trees, ice/roller skates, socks, shoe boxes, insoles or shin guards.
