Shoes for Orphan Souls

MILLIONS OF CHILDREN reside in orphanages throughout the world and are in desperate need of new shoes and a new pair of socks. It is a simple gift. In a world where a little can mean so much, a NEW PAIR OF SHOES lets a child know that they have not been forgotten. Buckner International will deliver shoes to orphanages throughout the world and here in the United States. Shoes have been distributed to children in over 83 COUNTRIES, including the United States, Haiti, Brazil, Honduras, Croatia, Uganda and Israel.

Why New Shoes?
New shoes provide:
HEALTH
Help prevent disease and injury caused by walking barefoot for miles to gather clean water or go to school.

EDUCATION
Many schools around the world require shoes to be worn but shoes are not a luxury many families can afford.

HOPE
Children in orphanages share everything with no possessions of their own. A new pair of shoes just for them communicates love and lets them know they are special.

What can you do?
1. Please pray for the child who will receive your gift.
2. Drop off new shoes and socks in marked locations in the Atrium and Lobby areas on all campuses Feb 24 – Mar 10.
3. Place a note of encouragement inside the shoes.
