Dallas Homeless Receive New Shoes, Socks from Buckner

The number of homeless is growing as the economy falls, so the president of Operation Care was glad to bring Shoes for Orphan Souls to be part of the biggest party for the homeless in the nation Dec. 14.

“We only had 300 shoes and it wasn’t enough for the event,” said Susie Jennings, president and founder of Dallas-based Operation Care. “I called Andrew and said, ‘I need shoes!’ and we were able to get 5,000 to distribute to needy children and adults.”

Operation Care offered the people manicures, hair cuts, coats, a hot meal, toiletries, Bibles and many other services and opportunities. They also shared the Gospel.

“We were happy to serve the homeless in our community,” said Rachel Garton, director of Shoes for Orphan Souls. “Shoes are a big necessity, especially in the winter time, and even more so for people without a home.”
