I passed that email on to my department. Thought it was an easy way to help - I knew I had some shoes sitting in my garage! A co-worker and I decided we would collect whatever people had to donate and take it over to our local Sports Chalet. I wasn't sure what to expect. Today, on our lunch hour we took at least 100 pairs of shoes over to the store. When we pulled up, there were cars at the curb unloading and a truck with its bed full of bags of shoes. Pretty amazing. I wish I had a better camera, but here's some cell photos that I got inside the store. Shoes everywhere! An employee thought they would get about 15,000 pairs in that store alone. I sure hope these shoes get to those in need. I'm curious to hear the results from stores across the nation. Go ahead, clean some shoes out of your closet & drop them off at a store before Sunday!
