Shoes for a Cause

<< Back to archives | Thursday, May 10, 2007

12th Street Shoes stores in Fairhaven and Birch Bay Square are presenting their 4th Annual Anniversary Shoe Drive for Charity, May 18-20.
Bring in a pair of gently worn shoes and receive an additional $5 off a new pair.  All women’s shoes will be donated to the YWCA’s Back to Work Boutique and men’s shoes to the Hope House, operated by Catholic Community Services and Assumption Church.  Yaleet Inc. (Naot Footwear) will be donating approximately $12,000 in new shoes for the event. 

“It’s so fun to do this event every year,” said store owner, Jody Finnegan.  “We’ve donated literally hundreds of shoes to the women’s Back to Work Boutique.  A pair of new shoes can do wonders boosting self-esteem for a job interview.”

For more information, phone the Fairhaven store at 733-2066 or Birch Bay 366-5140.
