STEWARTSHIP COUNCIL FREE SHOES FOR YOUTH

The Stewardship Council is forwarding information on behalf of Bay Area Wilderness Training. This is a great opportunity to get free shoes for the youth you serve.


Today the world has many challenges economically. With one in ten out of work in the US a great deal of people are focused on just taking care of basics.

I need your help to get the word out about a program we initiated at Payless last year and are upping the ante on this year. We want to give away $1.2 million worth of free shoes to kids in need for the holidays. No strings attached. This program is fully funded by Payless that's over 77,000 pairs of free new shoes for kids in need.

In order to get these shoes to those who need them most we are calling upon friends and colleagues to let their favorite charities which help kids in need know about this program. Send them to www.paylessgives.com .

It's a grass roots program where any qualified 501(c)(3) charity which helps kids in need can sign up for these coupons. All we want is for the coupons to go directly to the kids via the charity so they can go to the store to pick out the shoes themselves during the month of December. The sign up time is limited so you will want to get the word out quickly.

For many of these kids it may be their only new pair of shoes for the year. The pride, joy and self esteem a new pair of shoes can bring to a young child in need is powerful.

So go to www.paylessgives.com and find out how your favorite charity can sign up for this unique program.

The program is designed to be a community effort which gets to those who need one of life's basic needs. Yet this need has powerful and lasting effect of building self esteem for our youth.

All my best,
