Talk about walk a mile in my shoes.....I ran across a relatively new non-profit today that interested me. It is called "souls4souls". They collect new and slightly used shoes and distribute them to people in need across the globe. The organization began by helping victims of  the tsunami.

Some times it is just so easy to help others. I did some spring cleaning in my closet this weekend and had several pairs of shoes in good shape that I no longer wear. Had I only known.....

The organization is based in Nashville, but local organizations can host shoe drives. However, I am not sure how the shoes would get from here to there.

Church or school groups may want to check out this organization. But you can also help people out locally be donating your shoes to Goodwill or Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful collects athletic shoes. Plus there are local homeless shelters that may need shoes.

Either way, donating your shoes may just be another way to help someone else walk down a new path.
