Now through February 28th, Gary’s Wine & Marketplace will hold a shoe drive to benefit Soles4Souls, Inc. Local residents are invited to recycle their “gently worn” shoes for people in need.
Every 9 seconds, Soles4Souls, Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. And with the recent crisis in Haiti, support for the effort is needed now more than ever.
For a limited time, Soles4Souls and Gary’s Wine & Marketplace will be collecting gently worn footwear and/or donations to ship the shoes to a person in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme poverty. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone’s life.
Now through February 28th, shoes may be dropped off at the following Gary’s locations: Bernardsville, 100 Morristown Road (Route 202), Bernardsville, NJ, (908) 766-6699; Madison, 121 Main Street, Madison, NJ, (973) 822-0200; Wayne, 1308 Route 23 North, Wayne, NJ, (973) 633-3900.
People and companies interested in donating can visit Soles4Soul’s website at www.giveshoes.org.
