Foot Solutions, on behalf of Soles4Souls, the international charity dedicated to providing free footwear to people in desperate need, is asking the public to drop off their gently used shoes at any of their 240 worldwide locations and or contribute monetary donations for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
"Foot Solutions is working aggressively with Soles4Souls to help our Haitian neighbors in this terrible disaster," said Ray Margiano, Foot Solutions CEO and Founder. "I have been to this country and am well aware of the level of poverty that exists and the shortage of supplies that are difficult on a normal level and this is especially hard on this struggling country," Margiano said. "We want to do everything we can to help."
