Shoes for the Soul – A Florida Charity Organization
November 12009
Karen Morrissey of Shoes for the Soul pours out her soul on behalf of poor and indigent children in Broward County, Florida. Help put new shoes on the feet of those who need it most. The Children! Donations and Volunteers accepted. 954-229-2344
To date, Shoes for the Soul has distributed over 30,000 new pairs of shoes to children and youths throughout South Florida, for Gulf Coast victims of Hurricane Katrina, Jamaica and in Kenya through a joint program with local CBS’s Neighbors for Neighbors and the First Baptist Church of Fort Lauderdale. We have accomplished this level of success completely through corporate and individual philanthropy and a total volunteer staff, including me, the Founder, as I utilized savings and a severance from corporate America to fund Shoes for the Soul in its early days. Our logo, press kit and all graphic work has been accomplished by the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. Donald J. Pliner, Mia Shoes, Robeez, and Reebok are a few of our corporate donors.
In 2007, Shoes for the Soul will partner with the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation and donate new shoes to the children and youth in The Democratic Republic of the Congo on behalf of Mr. Mutumbo’s efforts to help the children of his homeland. Our goal is send thousands of pairs of shoes via a Foundation shipment, to create joy and dignity in the life of a child, and allow them to further see that we care.
