Shoe Cutting Party with Miss Asheville

If you've known about Sole Hope for a while then you probably have heard of our shoe cutting parties.  These take place all over the country and are a way for students, churches, businesses, communities and the like to have take part in making a difference in Africa.

These gatherings are fun and can can be tailored to the group that is getting together.  We heard from Miss Asheville a few months ago and she asked us if she could do a shoe cutting party at a college here in Asheville.  She has a huge heart and we liked her excitement in getting involved.  The shoes that were cut out that day were then taken with the Sole Hope team in March to Africa!

Those uppers are then used in the training process for the African men and women who are learning a new trade.  Once the shoes are sewn together in Africa they are handed out to children in the village.

Holding a shoe cutting party is a fun way to help Sole Hope!  If you are interested in doing this please email info@solehope.com and our coordinator will get you details.
