Soles4Souls Shoe Drive Ends September 30 in Carson City
Shiny Soles Boot and Shoe Shine, is much appreciated to those who have dropped off new or gently worn shoes to the Silver Oak Golf Shop. A total of 72 pairs have been collected thus far for the Soles4Souls shoe drive donation, the goal is 500 pairs according to Mike Smith, owner of Shiny Soles Boot Shoe Shine.
With less than two-weeks before the drive ends on September 30, Smith is remaining optimistic that more will be donated.
The shoes can be placed in one of the four boxes near his shoeshine stand in the lobby of the Silver Oak Golf Course.
I'm asking the wonderful citizens of Carson City to please get behind this shoe drive. Imagine the benefits- putting used shoes to good use, instead of sending them to the landfill. Since 2006 Soles4Souls has diverted 81 million pounds of textiles from landfills.
Providing new athletic shoes to kids experiencing homelessness in the U.S. Smith is encouraging everyone to get fired up by unleashing the good in the world.
People like you! Smith wants everyone to know for every 4 pairs of shoes donated, you will receive one ticket for a complimentary boot, or shoe shine; with 7 or more pairs donated you will receive two complimentary boots, or shoe shines.
Please see a pro shop attendant at Silver Oak for the tickets which are good until October 1, 2024. There are other ways you can make a difference... make a financial gift and ask your employer about matching contributions says, Smith.
The drive ends Saturday, September 30 at 5 pm.for additional information please contact Mike Smith at 775-508-9305, smithm410@yahoo.com or visit shinysoles.com
