- Soles4Souls
- We just wanted to thank the Robertson-Wesley congregation for enthusiastically helping out with Soles4Souls. As church, we collected 210 pairs of shoes and were also thankful for a donation to help with shipping costs. Over the past 3 years, RWUC has provided footwear for nearly 550 people in need! For most of those people, it would be there their first-ever pair of shoes. We look forward to another shoe drive in 2012!
