Milk Money in Charlotte, NC Announces Shoe Drive to Benefit Soles4Souls™ Inc.
Charlotte, North Carolina- Milk Money Children’s Boutique announced today that it is hosting a shoe drive to benefit Soles4Souls™ Inc., the international footwear charity that delivers shoes to needy people around the world.
During the shoe drive, Milk Money will be offering a $5 discount to all customers who bring in gently worn pairs of shoes toward the effort. The shoe drive will begin on August 1, 2009 and will end on August 30, 2009. Milk Money is located at 9601 Brookdale Drive, Charlotte, NC 28215 in the Brookdale Shopping Center at the corner of Rocky River Road and Plaza Extension.
"We feel the shoe drive is an excellent way for parents to teach their children the importance of giving." said Shaun and Cherita Thomas, Owners of Milk Money. "When a child donates their shoes to someone less fortunate it can aid in cheerful and continued giving," said Cherita Thomas.
"We are excited that Milk Money 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 Milk Money, that we are able to accomplish our goal of getting shoes on the feet of people who need them most," he said.
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 Cherita Thomas at (704) 598-0001. You can also visit their website at www. milk moneyboutique.com.

Milk Money's Laugh Out Loud Fashion and Trunk Show
Milk Money Boutique’s and Laughing Out Louds trunk and fashion show fundraiser for Soles4Souls.
Boston, MA (August 8, 2009)—Though just kicking off its second season in business, local children’s apparel company Laughing Out Loud Kids is making an effort to give back by holding a trunk show and Fashion Show on August 8 to support our Milk Money Boutique and it’s effort to raise money donations for Soles for Souls. Popular children's boutique Milk Money will host a showing of designer Mila Cole's
latest fashions.
"From the start, we wanted to find a way to help others through our own business success," Cole says. Soles4Souls, whose mission is to provide gently worn shoes for people in need due to a natural disaster or who are living in poverty is the perfect way for us to help children who are in need. “Our friends at Milk Money suggested the idea of coming together to put on an event to help bring awareness to this cause and we are very pleased that we were asked to be a part of this”.
The trunk show, will last all week from the August 8th -15th and will kick off with a Fall fashion show and party on August 8th from 1:30 – 4pm at Milk Money Boutique 9601 Brookdale Dr. St 300 Charlotte, NC 28215 and will feature looks from Laughing Out Loud's Fall ‘09 collection for girls and boys 0 to 12 years old. Parents will find whimsical, striped one-pieces for babies as well as fun playwear for older kids—from colorful pants and polos for little men to fanciful dresses for dancers-in training, such as the popular multi-tiered Charleston style. According to Cole,"Kids love our soft, comfortable fabrics and swingy silhouettes, and moms are happy to find high-quality apparel that holds up over time."
Milk Money with the help of the Laughing Out Loud event will make a contribution to Soles4Souls that help support the charity's service in poor communities and people in need around the world. "We believe Milk Money shoppers will be thrilled to find fantastic children's clothes at top value while also contributing to this wonderful cause," Cole says.
