Tom's Shoes

This organization has sure hit it off with many of the students in Craig's class. Tom's shoes is a company that gives shoes to those in third-world countries who can't afford to buy their own. When you purchase a pair of Tom's shoes, the company sends a pair to someone in need. To date, they have given away 60,000 pairs of shoes since their beginning in 2006. It is their current goal to give out more than 200,000 pairs, and they need help. Remember that one of the signature strengths is to "clothe the naked."

Not to sound preachy, but imagine if you didn't have shoes and had to walk around all day with bare feet in the forests of Argentina or the savannahs of Africa. Walking around on concrete in my worn slippers hurts my feet after a couple minutes, so that scenario makes my feet hurt just thinking about it. To learn more or to buy a pair, click here.
