'Our Hearts to Your Soles' and Soles4Souls, with the support of Minnesota's Red Wing Shoes, will provide Free Foot Screenings and Footwear Nationwide
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- For the fourth straight year, Soles4Souls is participating in "Our Heart to Your Soles" and providing less fortunate people across the nation with free foot screenings and footwear. The event will be held during Thanksgiving week in more than 40 cities around the country.
Replica Louis VuittonRed Wing Shoe Company, which has been manufacturing work boots for one hundred years, has recently donated more than 10,000 pairs of high quality Red Wing footwear to Soles4Souls Inc, the international shoe charity dedicated to providing free footwear to people in need. During the week of Thanksgiving, physicians and surgeons participate in the event coordinated by Our Hearts to Your Soles by providing new shoes or boots, socks and medical screenings to thousands of homeless men in more than 40 states.
"Soles4Souls is thrilled to be working with Our Hearts to Your Soles again this year," said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. "The health, comfort and well-being of those less fortunate in this country has been and will continue to be a priority for us. A pair of durable boots can fill a person with hope and confidence. It's a major step towards employment and building self-esteem," he said.
"As Our Hearts to Your Soles expands the national program we are so thankful to be partnered with Soles4Souls and be supported by the generosity of our individual and corporate sponsors," said Laura Conti.
