Volunteer: Load truck for Soles4Souls

WHAT WE'LL BE DOING:
Soles4Souls collects and sorts shoes to send to partners around the world to create opportunities for others to earn money by selling the shoes. We will be loading bags of shoes onto the truck to bring them to the next facility. The forklift will load some shoes and the rest are bagged, and we will be lifting and throwing them onto the truck. It's a workout!!

THE IMPACT:
We have reached 25,000 pounds of shoes in the warehouse, so they are ready for the next step in the journey. From here, your shoes will help to create opportunities for those in developing nations to step out of poverty through our micro-enterprise program. Our partners on the ground designate individuals and communities that will benefit from selling new and gently used shoes to generate a sustainable income. We are currently working with Haiti, Honduras, Transnistria, and Guatemala.
