The shoe charity recognizes its success is the result of individuals and industry partners such as NECMA who clean out closets and warehouses so that individuals around the world can have a better life through American’s excess. Soles4Souls and NECMA will be collecting your new or gently worn footwear and/or donations to make a tangible difference through the gift of shoes. Every donation will support the charity’s initiative to distribute shoes to those in need. “With tragedies such as the earthquakes in countries like Haiti and Japan, on top of the enormous needs elsewhere, we can use the estimated 1.5 billion shoes taking up space in the closets of ordinary people to change the world one pair at a time,” said Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls, Wayne Elsey. Elsey added, “We need partners like NECMA to get behind Soles4Souls. Donating shoes is one of the most simple yet profound acts you can do, because it will greatly improve someone’s life in the most difficult of times.” We will be collecting gently used “SHOES” at each of our upcoming meetings on Sunday, September 30th at Woodland Golf Club (Newton, MA); Additional dates to be decided depending on the collection.
