Plans are underway for a fundraiser event to be held in October

Global Soles, a not-for-profit organization based in Brooklyn, New York, is scheduled to bring its 2009 footwear initiative to Haiti, in the capital city of Port-au-Prince. The organization's goal is to distribute 5,000 pairs of shoes to families and individuals prior to the Thanksgiving holiday season.

On Thursday, November 19, a group of missionaries will arrive in Port-au-Prince and will begin distributing footwear on Friday, November 20, Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22.

Prior to the mission trip, Global Soles is planning a fundraiser event to be held in October where all attendees will be required to bring a product donation and/or make a monetary contribution (further details are forthcoming).

Global Soles is requesting NEW footwear ONLY for children and adults including sneakers, black dress shoes, rain and casual boots for work, school, church and play. Socks are also needed for this mission.
