Footprints, a shoe store located at 2728 Heritage Drive, Delafield, recently announced that it is hosting a shoe drive to benefit Soles4Souls Inc., the international footwear charity that delivers shoes to needy people around the world.
Footprints will offer a 20-percent discount to all customers who bring in gently worn pairs of shoes toward the effort. The shoe drive will begin Sunday, Feb. 1, and run through Saturday, Feb. 28.
"When things seem bad, we need to realize how good we have it. We have a roof over our heads, food on our tables and shoes on our feet. There are people that don’t have any of that," Footprints owner Wendy Goralski said. "Footprints believes in the importance of giving. This is such a simple way anyone can help those less fortunate. Now, more than ever, it is harder for people to give money. This is a good way to make a big difference without giving any money at all."
"We are excited that Footprints is working with us to spread joy to people, both here in the United States and around the world," said Wayne Elsey, founder of Soles4Souls. "It is only because of proactive retail stores, such as Footprints, that we are able to accomplish our goal of getting shoes on the feet of people who need them most."
For more information on how you can get involved with this shoe drive and take advantage of the discount toward a new pair of shoes, contact Ryan Goralski at (262) 646-2267. You can also visit their website at www.footprintsshoes.net.
