The Tide 4th Annual Your Soles ~ Their Souls Shoe Drive Sponsored by Cubes Storage Solutions of Chambersburg
2025-01-02 - 2025-04-21 | PA
There is still time to donate your new and gently used shoes to help us reach our 10,000 pair goal!

Shoes may also be dropped off year-round at The Tide office. Stop by Monday – Friday from 9-4 or call ahead to be sure we are in.

How it works:

Each year The Tide ministry collects new and gently used shoes to fund Literacy classes in India. The shoes collected benefit microbusinesses in developing countries around the world.Through a community effort, new or gently worn shoes are collected and donated to The Tide ministry. Our partnering organization picks up the shoes at the end of the drive and sends us money for them. The funds collected are used for The Tide Gospel Outreach Literacy Classes in India. Our ‘boots on the ground’ team in India use Biblically based material in the classes, exposing the students to the Gospel as they learn!Our partnering organization supports micro-enterprise in 26 developing countries around the world, which is where the shoes end up. Entrepreneurs in these countries are offered the opportunity to take a 5-part micro-enterprise course that teaches them how to run a business. Once they have successfully completed all 5 modules, they are given 150 pairs of shoes to start their own microbusiness. Both the classes and initial shoes are at no charge to them. Our partners call this “a hand up, not a handout.” Once they have sold about 6-8 pairs of the shoes, they have usually earned enough to purchase another 150 pairs to keep their business going. This allows the business owners to take a step out of poverty and provide for their families at no risk to them.
