Ontario Mills Joins Forces With Soles4souls® To Fight Poverty Through Shoe Drive From September 3-30

ONTARIO, Calif. - Sept. 20, 2016 - PRLog -- Ontario Mills joins forces this September with Soles4Souls®, a global not-for-profit committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing.

From September 3 through September 30, Ontario Mills shoppers will notice a large Simon Shoe Box at Guest Services (now located in the California Welcome Center) where customers can donate new and gently used shoes through the Soles4Souls organization.

This collaboration is in tandem with Ontario Mills' mall-wide September shoe promotion – 'For the Love of Shoes' – featuring exclusive discounts and extraordinary savings on hundreds of styles and brands of footwear for every age and every occasion from participating retailers.

"As Soles4Souls has proven, one good pair of shoes can change a life," said Lisa Restaino, Director of Marketing and Business Development, Ontario Mills. "Ontario Mills shoppers can choose from a huge selection of shoe retailers offering on-trend styles at affordable prices for the entire family. We are thrilled to join forces with Soles4Souls to help those in need by collecting shoes from our employees, our shoppers and our retailers throughout the month of September."

As an added incentive, shoppers can stop by the California Welcome Center to enter to win a $500 Simon Giftcard beginning September 3 – 30 during mall hours. The winner will be announced October 1. The official rules and regulations are also available at the California Welcome Center.

"We are so proud to be a part of the 'For the Love of Shoes' event," says Buddy Teaster, President and CEO of Soles4Souls. "Soles4Souls works hard to provide shoes and clothing to those in need all over the world and right here in the United States. It's great to know that the impact made through this project will help us to continue to provide relief right in our own back yards."
