We are asking you to be a part of the shoe challenge by conducting a shoe drive. There are two ways to be involved:
- A group effort with your church or youth group, civic organization, or school
- As an individual
Prizes, the Big Foot trophy, will be awarded to the group and individual who collects the most shoes.
Step 1: If you are conducting a drive as a group effort, form a committee.
Step 2: Choose the dates of your shoe drive. Most successful drives last about one month. If you are conducting a drive at your church, within your organization or school, be sure to get permission.
Step 3: Register your shoe drive. Click here to register your drive.
In the comments section of the registration form type in RTD.
If the drive is a group effort, you will need the name and address of your church, organization or school.
Step 4: Publicize early. Start letting people know a month before your drive that the collection is coming up. The Shoes for Orphan Souls team will send you a shoe drive kit which will assist you in promoting your drive. The kit contains posters, brochures and a video.
Step 5: Choose a highly visible location to collect the shoes. Build excitement by providing updates on how many shoes have been collected.
Step 6: Count, pack and bring the shoes to Rock the Desert August 7th and 8th.
