Soles4Souls is a charity organization committed to providing poverty-stricken individuals around the world with shoes. They've embarked on the '50,000 Pairs in 50 Days' challenge, and Soles4Souls makes it pretty easy for anyone to get involved.
A $5 donation yields 2 pairs of shoes, $10 nets 3 pairs of shoes and $20 sponsors a family-sized 5 pairs of shoes, with the sixth pair shipped to you as a gift. Soles4Souls operates on 2% of its income, which is a sum far smaller than that of many other charities. Check out the video above for more information.
