Soles4Souls for Haiti. Gulf Coast Community Ministries is partnering with Soles4Souls to distribute shoes in Haiti. To learn more about the ministry, go to www.soles4souls.org. The organization is looking for donations of new or gently used footwear of all sizes. The best adult shoes would be footwear that a person would expect to be able to use comfortably outside in rough conditions. Sandals and flip flops are also requested, as it is a very hot climate. We are only accepting shoes. Used clothing is not practical or needed. The deadline to bring your shoes to the church is March 7th.
