Our opportunities to love and give of ourselves are indeed limitless, but they are also perishable. Today there are hearts to gladden, kind words to say and deeds to be done.

In December we traveled to Southeast Asia and worked with the US Embassy, LDS Charities and The Bangkok Center for Refugees to deliver 7,500 pairs of shoes to those in need. Many lives were touched as we briefly spent time with so many wonderful people - We returned inspired to seek more ways to help.

Las Vegas - Project Sole used FN Platform as an opportunity to partner with Timberland, Keen and the footwear industry to donate over 1,500 pairs of shoes to children in Las Vegas, Nevada. Industry volunteers met at the Andre Agassi Boys and Girls Club and enjoyed spending time with kids, lifting their morale and even challenged them to a competitive game of dodgeball.

El Salvador - Aug 2015

El Salvador - During this trip we focused on giving shoes to three specific groups of people: 1. Women who suffer from gender violence 2. Children who are targeted to join gangs 3. Farmers living in poverty We are extremely grateful to all who worked selflessly to organize and make this trip a possibility. There is still so much to do, but we were able to add a little bright spot to a lot of people's lives.
