Shoes for Souls
At just 12 years old, Lindsay Sobel of Los Angeles, California, made it her mission to pair the homeless population of her city with a pair of great shoes.
As part of her preparation for her bat mitzvah ceremony, Sobel launched Shoes for Souls, a charitable program that collects and distributes shoes for Southern Californians in need.
“Part of the requirement for having a bar or bat mitzvah is that in some way you give back to your community, give back to the world,” Sobel told KNX-1070 News Radio. “I decided I wanted to give back as big as I could.”
