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.
