Soles4Souls distributes shoes in Canada and around the world for children and adults who otherwise might not be wearing shoes or are wearing shoes that they have outgrown
The Sault Ste. Marie Women’s Hockey League donated nearly 1,000 pairs of shoes, boots and slippers for charity.
They have made it their mission to give back and help those in need through their partnership with the non-profit organization Soles4Souls Canada. On the sustainability front, a benefit of this program is that the shoes aren’t going into a landfill—they are being repurposed and given a second life. Speaking of her time travelling, Nicole says “I didn’t truly understand the microenterprise program until I met a woman named Ginette in Haiti. Ginette had previously owned a business selling rice and beans, but her business was destroyed by the earthquake. She was able to rebuild her life through her work with Soles4Souls. The shoes that she gets from Soles4Souls allowed Ginette to provide for her family, rebuild her house, and even put her son through university.
