On Wednesday, March 8th, the Riverwalk Church of Christ will be having a Sole Hope Party. Anyone from the community  is welcomed to come help assemble shoes for the children of Uganda. This event starts at 5:30 pm and ends at 8 pm. This is a great community service opportunity for those who need or would like more community service hours. Dinner will be served at this event from 5:30pm  to 7 pm.  Sole Hope is non profit organization that puts together shoe kits for the children of Uganda. Sole Hope started when the founders Asher and Dru Collie when they were doing research to adopt children in Africa . During there research they found a Youtube video about jiggers and the terrible impact they have on so many children in Africa. The Collies realized that closed toed shoes were the solution and Sole Hope was the created. Sole Hope not only creates shoes for children in Uganda but provides jobs, healthcare, education for the people of Uganda. Since Sole Hope was created several shoe parties have taken place, and Sole Hope has expanded.
