The Little Gym has teamed up with Soles4Souls to create Big Hearts, Little Shoes, an initiative to help spread shoes and love around the globe. Gently used, overly loved, and outgrown kids and adult shoes can be dropped off at our location during business hours. The shoes will then be shipped to Soles4Souls, the world’s largest provider of shoes to families living in extreme poverty and recovering from natural disasters.
Big Hearts, Little Shoes is a great opportunity for you to talk to your kids about charity and help to them experience the joy of giving. Go through your child’s closet with them and help them pick out shoes that they don’t want or need anymore. Then, ask them to help you go through yours!
While you’re sorting through your shoes, explain how they will benefit other children and families in need. For instance, you could share that the shoes will help protect children from illnesses, helping them to grow big and strong. They will also help many children attend schools! This is something that they couldn’t do in their bare feet.
Help us reach our goal of collecting one million shoes so we can change one million lives. Together, we’ll all become “Citizen Kids!” and create a better world for everyone!
