Need 2 Pairs of Shoes, Please

The 50,000 Pairs in 50 Days Challenge

My friends at Soles4Souls recently launched a campaign to raise 50,000 pairs of shoes for those who have never, I repeat, never had them before. While the goal is daunting, please don’t focus on the 50,000. Focus on the 2 for $5. Yep. INVEST $5 and GIVE 2 pairs of shoes…today.

In case you’re thinking, I don’t have $5 to give, consider the following ways to find $5 you didn’t even know you had:

  • Find and sell something forgotten on Craigslist
  • Cash in the piggy bank sitting on your dresser
  • Brew your coffee at home today and stop by here instead
  • Donate a percentage of your companies profit for one hour or one day
  • Make some fudge and sell it to a friend at work
  • Work one hour of overtime this week
  • Don’t order the dinner drink next time you go out to eat
  • Opt to borrow your next book, not buy it

What other creative ways can you find money in a cash-crunch economy?

GIVE.
