Donate shoes, save $10 off new shoes
Donate a pair of gently worn or new shoes to charity at Foot Solutions in Annapolis and save $10 off the purchase of a new pair on Wednesday, March 25.
Consider it an excuse to clean out your closet. The store is collecting for Soles4Souls, an organization that has distributed more than 4 million pairs of shoes to needy people in more than 100 countries, including the United States, Sudan, Honduras, Vietnam and Mexico, according to a news release.
As the release points out:
"The gift of shoes does more than lift the spirits of those in desperate need. It also reduces the risk of puncture wounds, scrapes and burns to the feet, and stops hookworm infections. Also, by donating shoes to needy people, Annapolis residents can greatly reduce the number of perfectly good shoes being wasted in their local landfills."
