TAMPA BAY, Fla. -- Flip-flops are as much a part of Florida as sunshine, but it is the flip-flops, as in Flip Flop Wines, that are making a difference around the world.   

"Every bottle sold, we have been donating a pair of shoes or flip-flops," said David Georges, Vintner for Flip Flop Wines.  

"People don't have the funds to cut that donation check like they used to," added Georges.

Instead, buy a bottle of Flip Flop for less than $10 and the company helps put shoes on the feet of someone needy. "Now this way they can purchase a bottle of wine and do something good at the same time."

David Georges' company partners with Soles 4 Souls.  He said, "It's a match made in heaven. Our Flip Flop motto, logo and our brand really matches Soles for Souls and what they're doing."

What they are doing is travelling the globe helping the needy a pair of shoes at a time.

And with the help of companies like Georges and you, since 2005, Soles 4 Souls has put shoes on the feet of 16 million people in nearly 130 countries.
