Cleats for Bare Feet (C4BF) has had an exciting weekend! On Saturday, Sarah Reddinger from Habitat for Humanity took some of our cleats with her on a Habitat journey to Morazan, El Salvador. The cleats will be given to a youth network that develops the athletic abilities of kids and keeps them out of trouble. We wish her all the best and hope she has a great trip.

Another shipment of cleats will be leaving from St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in Charlotte, North Carolina and traveling to Haiti on July 30th. Big thank you to Hands for Haiti President Mark Creasser. Hands for Haiti is a nonprofit organization that brings education to some of the poorest of the poor in rural Northern Haiti. The cleats are part of a much larger aid shipment provided by the organization. They will be given to children at the Missionaries of the Poor orphanage in Cap Haitien and to students at Hands for Haiti’s Solidarity School in Tremesse.

In total, more than 100 cleats made it out the door this week. We at C4BF cannot wait to see the pictures our partners send us. Huge thank you to the both of them.
