After learning of the devastation left in the aftermath of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, footwear executive Wayne Elsey used his rolodex to collect 250,000 pairs of new shoes to send to people who'd lost everything.
A year later, he collected 1 million more pairs for victims of Hurricane Katrina. Soles4Souls is now one of the fastest-growing nonprofits in America. It has distributed nearly 12 million pairs of shoes in more than 125 countries across the globe—and more than half end up on the feet of needy Americans. In the time it takes you to read this sentence—about seven seconds—they'll give away another pair of shoes.
