MissionFounded in 2006, Soles4Souls is a nonprofit organization created to fight poverty in areas harmed by disasters, orphanages in Central and South America, and homeless shelters. One way it does this is by collecting money to buy new shoes and distributing them to people in need. Soles4Souls also receives millions of used shoes from places such as schools. They sort the donations and sell them to organizations that give support to small businesses in countries such as Haiti. Through this sale, Soles4Souls creates jobs that generate revenue and strengthen the economy in the community.

Our Why |
How We Helped |
MV Leo Club chose this organization to be our project for the 2014-2015 school year because it is a worthy cause, and huge problem in the modern day world. There are too many people living in poverty and without jobs. By collecting money for this cause, we can help people in areas that are not as well off as Cupertino is. Even $1 raised can give a person in need a pair of shoes.

Our Project Committee team, lead by Ashley Chin, worked closely with NSS to hold events, fundraisers, shoe drive, promotions, etc for this cause! |
