Good Stuf in TEC: North Carolina


Bring your soles for souls

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, located at 107 Deerfield Drive in Hampstead, is participating in the second annual Barefoot Sunday on June 7th, a grassroots campaign launched by international shoe charity Soles4Souls, Inc. Soles4Souls has a simple mission -- to collect new and 'gently worn' shoes to donate to victims of natural disasters and those living in extreme poverty.

Last year, the church collected almost 100 pairs of shoes so they decided to try for larger numbers this year.

On Barefoot Sunday, the church invites its people to leave their shoes at the altar and walk out of worship services barefoot.

Community members who wish to donate shoes may drop them off at the church located behind Port City Java in Hampstead.
