Hello -
There is a great opportunity going on during the month of October in Evansville to recycle and donate your used children and adult shoes. If you are a family like ours, with growing little feet, you have many pairs of shoes around the house that are gently worn, but don't fit.
Our friend Blase Strobl at Evansville Physical Therapy and Rehab Specialists at 811 Brown School Road (just down from Ace Hardware) is collecting gently worn footwear for a great organization, Soles4Souls. You can drop off your shoes (rubber banded together is best) during their normal business hours throughout the month of October.
During my travels in India and the far East in the 1990s, I witnessed that there truly are millions of adults and children without a pair of shoes. There is lots of good information on the organization's website, http://www.soles4souls.org/ as to why this is a health and safety concern.
Donating shoes is a simple thing, but makes a big difference in someone's life.
Please pass onto families with growing children ... all these shoes are distributed to people in need in over 125 countries, free of charge. Thanks to Blase for sponsoring such a great program!
Happy Shoe Finding -
