Daphne, AL (PRWEB) August 12, 2016
RE/MAX By The Bay Realtor® Ginny Stopa is proud to announce she recently shipped 333 pairs of shoes to Soles4Souls following a shoe drive and a large donation from Government Street Baptist Church in Mobile, AL, which spearheaded its own Soles4Souls drive. “The turnout from the community was heartwarming and overwhelming, as the shoe donations I and the church received were more than expected,” said Stopa. “I am honored to live in a community where so many people are passionate about helping the less fortunate.”
Due to the generosity of the community and Government Street Baptist Church, Stopa was able to ship four large boxes of shoes to Soles4Souls, whose mission is to eradicate extreme poverty by 2050. Children every day are prevented from attending school and adults are unable to work as walking becomes unbearable, which perpetuates the cycle of poverty. However, Soles4Souls aims to wear out poverty one pair of donated shoes at a time. A new pair of shoes can provide relief in many developing nations where walking is the primary mode of transportation, and help bridge the economic gap in the United States and Canada.
“Soles4Souls has collected and distributed more than 26 million pairs of shoes to those in need in 127 countries around the world and all 50 states in the U.S., with the help of altruistic and proactive people such as Aggie Little and all the children at Government Street Baptist Church who were the force behind the successful shoe drive,” said Stopa.
