"Souls" supports Soles4Soles

"Ah, shoes! Magnificent shoes! The power, the pleasure of glorious shoes!" Harry & Chorus

There are people in the world who don't have shoes. For all the love and admiration this musical has for shoes, it seems right that it should help some of them out. Henceforth, all fans and audiences of The Souls of Her Feet will be invited to donate a pair of shoes to Soles4Souls.org. This organization started by collecting shoes for hurricane and tsunami victims; they have since distributed to desperate (and barefoot) people in over 50 countries on 5 continents.
"We are footwear people to the core. We love all types of footwear, from sleek running shoes to stylish pumps, from rugged work boots to the coolest sandals on the beach. But the reward of buying a new pair of shoes simply cannot compare to the joy of giving a pair of shoes to someone in need. These shoes are treasured beyond description, and it's at that very moment that we understand just how awesome shoes can be.

"Whatever you do, you're on a path, be it to town or Timbuktu, so blue, ecru, or any hue, your shoes give you direction, that is very true!" —Harry
