Shoes

I want your shoes: old or new, high heels or flats, sneakers or dress, or anything in between.

Why do I want your shoes?

To give them to the “Shoeman,” that’s why. The Shoeman runs a warehousing operation in Fenton. He processes the shoes and sells them by the pound to South America. The money that he makes from the sale of shoes goes to one of two projects. The first project buys well digging equipment which is delivered and installed in Kenya to provide drinking water for villages that don’t any water suitable for drinking.

The other project purchases water purification systems that are delivered and installed in Haiti. These systems provide drinking water for the people of Haiti. A trip to Haiti. is planned for the near future.

What do I need from you is shoes. I need complete pairs. If the have laces, please tie matching pairs together. If the don’t have laces, please use a rubber band or some twine to secure them together. Once that is completed, please bag them so it is easy for me to load them.

Today, I delivered five tall kitchen bags full to the local drop off point. These all came from one family. And I thank them very much.

See what God can do with some old shoes. Just think what God could do if we gave him our best.
