Soles4Souls: Girl collects shoes to help people worldwide

When it comes to shoes, everyone has that pair or two that never sees the light of day.

Not everyone comes up with a cool way to get rid of them and not everyone thinks like Alexxis Grant's dad.

"I was cleaning out my closet and decided that I had a few pairs to give away and I was just going to toss them, but my dad said, 'Hey, don't do that, you can give them to someone who needs help,'" Alexxis said.

It took a quick Google search for Alexxis to find Soles 4 Souls, which is an organization that collects shoes and gives them to people in need all over the country and world.

Alexxis is now helping them out by holding a drive at her work in Gilbert and two other locations in east Phoenix.

"This is 200 pairs of shoes, that's 200 people that it's affecting and all it took was a few people to clean out their closet," she said.

Two hundred now, but the goal is to get 10,000 by December 1st and all she needs is a little help from you.

"You know, you're never going to wear them ever again, but you can make a difference in someone's life by just dropping them off somewhere and we'll do the rest," she said.
