✨Introducing New Soles Outreach! 🫱🏾‍🫲🏼
We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus, so getting involved in outreach is naturally one way we do that!

Look at all these little souls! 🤗 Last Tuesday, some of our New Soles Collective team had the pleasure of partnering with @elephanthousefoundation ! Elephant House is a local nonprofit organization committed to putting God’s love into action by supporting local youth who’ve experienced trauma in their homes or communities.

Their dedicated founder and volunteers meet every month to provide youth nights that operate as a safe space filled with: prayer, dinner, bible lessons/activities, and play!

Instead of figuring out how to get the kids to the @richmondurbandance studio, we brought the studio directly to them! The kids enjoyed a free Gospel hip-hop dance lesson and they couldn’t wait to show off their moves! We look forward to partnering with them again soon! 🙏🏾

If you’re interested in volunteering with the team at Elephant House, make sure to check out their page for all the details. (They are holding a virtual interest meeting via teams).

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward them for what they have done.” — Proverbs 19:17

There’s something so special about being able to pour into yourself while also pouring into someone else. This cause is incredibly close to my heart, and I’m so thankful we get to use the community we’ve built at Bare Beauty to make a difference. 🥹🤍

Grab a few canned goods or non-perishables before your next appointment and help us fill this box OVERFLOWING. 🥫✨

Let’s get beautiful, give generously, and bless Richmond together. 🤍
