FUNDRAISER MATERIALS Collection Envelopes – Participants write donor information on the outside of the envelopes in pen. We accept cash or check – please make checks payable to Soles4Souls. Note: If a participant runs out of room on the envelope, please make copies of an unused collection envelope. Copies can be kept inside the collection envelope for additional donor information.
Donor Cards – Facts and pictures on cards can be used by participants to share the mission of Soles4Souls and to show a picture of the clogs or flip flops the donor will sponsor for someone in need. The cards are to be left with the donor for information purposes. Soles4Souls Brochures – There will not be enough to leave with donors, but participants can use them to give more information about Soles4Souls and to help answer any questions.
