21,000 Pairs of Shoes!! Thanks to all who contributed to the Soles4Souls Shoe Drive
Northport and East Northport Rotary Clubs concluded their 9th Annual shoe drive April 7, 2018. "Our goal was to collect 20,000 pairs of shoes to help the poor," said Anita Thomas, Northport Rotarian and Soles4Souls Ambassador. Shoes were collected at over 70 collection points at schools, churches, businesses and other organizations.
The shoes collected are being delivered to Soles4Souls, an international anti-poverty organization that distributes new and used shoes. A microenterprise program provides used shoes for repair to create jobs in poor countries. Tbe organization has distributed more than 25 million shoes in well over 100 countries, over 2.7 million in 2017..
"We support Soles4Souls because it is effective in distributing shoes where the need is, in the U.S. and around the world, in response to disasters and deep poverty," said Thomas. Among its relief programs, Soles 4 Souls distributed over 50,000 new pairs of shoes to help Philippine victims of Typhoon Haiyan.
"The simple truth is that almost anyone with a closet has shoes they don't wear, or an old pair that will just end up in a landfill," said Thomas. "Give those to us, and know that you are taking a step to making the world a better place for all of us."
Many happy feet thank you!

Northport Rotary Club and East Northport Rotary Club teamed up, under the direction of Anita and Bill Thomas, to collect 20,000 pairs of shoes in March, 2016 for Soles4Souls, a worldwide distributor of new and used shoes to areas of poverty and disaster. This 7th annual drive far exceeded prior year totals, aided particularly by kids in school, scout and other groups. As Anita Thomas noted: "It was really a heartwarming experience. Everybody just came together, it was so wonderful." Area churches, businesses, running groups and others pitched in.
Northport Rotary President Teri George was awarded Third Runner Up at the Ms. New York Senior America Pageant at Hofstra University April 3rd. Strutting her stuff with a dazzling performance of "All that Jazz" Teri was overjoyed with the result on her first participation in the event. See attached pre-event Observer article.

Northport Rotarian Anita Thomas and husband, Bill, organized the Sixth Annual Soles4Souls Shoe Drive during March 2015. On April 1 600 bags of shoes were loaded onto a truck headed for distribution around the world. See Observer story below for details.
Join the Sixth Annual Soles4Souls Shoe Drive. There will be a collection box in 11 local churches, 9 schools, Northport and East Northport Libraries, Gold’s Gym, the Eastern Athletic Club, and the Asharoken Village Hall Trailer March 1 – 31, 2015 for you to deposit any type of new or used shoes for redistribution to needy people in the U.S. and over 125 countries around the world. The Northport and Greater Long Island Running Clubs are also participating. The drive is sponsored by the Northport and East-Northport Rotary Clubs. The goal is 20,000 pairs of shoes. So, start cleaning your closets.
Organized by Northport Rotarian Anita Thomas and husband, Bill, in 2010, the number of shoes collected has grown from the initial effort at Gold’s Gym of 500 pairs of shoes to 14,000 in 2014. Soles4Souls was founded by Wayne Elsey, initially as a response to a 2004 Tsunami in Southeast Asia. He called executives in the shoe industry and delivered a quarter of a million shoes to areas devastated. Then, in response to Hurricane Katrina, over a million shoes were delivered to gulf coast communities. A year later, Soles4Souls was established and has collected and delivered over 21 million pairs of shoes around the world. The U.S. is first priority but disasters and general poverty provide plenty of demand worldwide. Shoes in need of repair go to local micro-business owners who restore the shoes, sell them for small amounts and thereby support their families
Anita and Bill Thomas had the opportunity to participate on a shoe delivery trip in Costa Rica in November 2014. They spent a week with a team of 14 volunteers from around the U.S. at a school, church and remote village washing children’s feet, measuring for size and delivering shoes. Anita described the experience – “We wanted to see what happens with the shoes. It is difficult not to be touched deeply when you see the smiles and joy of children getting something so basic as a pair of shoes. We were overwhelmed by the amount of Northport community support when we first collected 500 pairs. Each year there have been more people involved. I know we will meet our goal of 20,000 pairs this year.”
