Underwear is one of the most requested, but least donated items to homeless shelters. Underwear is most needed because it is a clothing item that everyone wears, every day. Also, many homeless people don’t have a place to do laundry, so underwear needs to be replaced frequently to protect hygiene and personal dignity.
To help fix that, we need your help. We are collecting NEW underwear (M,L,XL) , in their original packaging for men that receive services at a local homeless shelter. The shelter is also in need of shower shoes (flip flops) in larger sizes.
All of the items collected will be delivered on, April 29, 2017 to Biddle Housing Opportunities Center where the items will be distributed to individuals as needed. Biddle House provides services for up to 125 people during the day and shelters up to 98 men overnight.
Those who want to make a monetary donation toward the purchase of underwear and shower shoes can send checks to: Sole to Soul Charitable Foundation, P.O. Box 25856, St. Louis, MO 63136 or click here to make a secure online donation.
As always, thank you for your support. We cannot help others without you. God bless you!

THANK YOU to Cheryl Carter & Soul Therapy, and The Shell Family for coordinating such a blessed, beautiful and amazing Christmas benefit. Your gift of $300 to Sole to Soul Charitable Foundation is vital in assisting us with our efforts in tackling poverty in STL and BEYOND. We are truly humbled by your generosity and thoughtfulness. Thank you for your support. We pray that your Christmas be blessed with His light and love!
A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donated to our diaper drive and to Great Southern Bank in Ferguson, MO for acting as a drop-off location, and to Watlow Electric (St. Louis facility) for collecting diapers. Because of YOU, we were able to deliver 3132 diapers and 1000 wipes to Almost Home. They were so appreciative as the need for disposable diapers is ongoing and critical. Thank you for helping keep the babies dry, healthy and happy.
None of this is possible without your generosity and continued support. God bless you all.

Volunteers have been a valuable part of our charitable foundation since it first started in May 2014. We just simply could not do anything without them. They collect and sort donations, prepare and serve food, donate their time and talents, mentor youth, provide prayer and various other important tasks.
We would not have been able to pull off our 4th of July picnic for the less fortunate today without the volunteers who put so much of their time and energy into putting it together, and making it happen. A big shout out to Sarah Grady and Judy Lindquist. You ladies are truly a Godsend.
If you know anyone who volunteers for Sole to Soul, or for any other organization, take a moment to let them know how much their time and energy are appreciated, and how much their contributions mean to our community and to the individuals they serve!
THANK YOU to everyone who came out today to help serve. We realize you could have spent the 4th of July with your family and friends, but chose to spend some time serving those less fortunate in our community. God bless you for your servant’s heart.

If you have not joined us to help provide basic necessities to the
less fortunate who live our community, please consider making it a
priority to get involved and make a difference. Our mobile outreach
mission serves people who are struggling. Some of the people we serve
are homeless and others are living with “less than conditions.” Less
than permanent housing, less food than a home should have, less clothing
and other basic necessities they need to survive.
Through service, we give others the things they lack, and we find meaning and fulfillment to our own lives. Whatever gifts we have been given -- large or small -- we should share generously. When we do, we make the world better for someone else and find true meaning and satisfaction in our own lives.
Prayerfully consider donating to Sole to Soul and be a part of our mission of, impacting and changing lives, through servicing the needs of the less fortunate in our communities, cities and beyond; on the basis of Faith, Love, Loyalty, and Stewardship. ACTS 20:35.

Serving Seniors Project
Senior citizens are one of our most vulnerable populations in our society, with many seniors living below the poverty line. The goal of the Serving Seniors Project is to provide healthy food to needy senior citizens who reside in the City of St. Louis and St. Louis County every month, in the hope they are not forced to choose between food, medicine, utilities, or rent/mortgage payments.
We are committed to providing nutritious food to needy area seniors each month to help them live active, healthy lifestyles. Paper products, cleaning products, and personal care items are also provided each month. We are actively seeking donations for this program. Please click here for a list of items needed.
We want our Serving Seniors Project to provide long-term support to our needy senior citizens on an emotional level also. We want to foster positive social relationships with seniors, help them to have a positive self-image and see themselves as a healthy and vital part of our society. We could not serve the needy in our communities without your support. Thank you for your generosity.
We will be happy to pick up donations. If your group or organization wants to hold a drive to collect items please click on the "Contact" tab and send us an email for details.
