Sport Chalet and Soles4Souls collect shoes for Haiti
Sporting goods retailer Sport Chalet and shoe charity Soles4Souls have joined forces in an effort to collect footwear for victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
Soles4Souls said it would donate more than 250,000 pairs of shoes to affected areas and Sport Chalet is to help collect footwear in support of its mission. Up until January 31, customers at Sport Chalet’s US 55 stores can drop off gently worn pairs of men's, women's and children's shoes which will be sent to Haiti.
"Being reminded of how fragile our world is, and seeing the devastation that has affected so many, makes it evident that our continued partnership with charities like Soles4Souls is more relevant than ever," Craig Levra, chairman and CEO of Sport Chalet, said.
"With 55 Sport Chalet drop-off locations in four states, we are asking our customers, our employees, and our vendors to stop by and donate their gently worn shoes for those so tragically affected by the earthquake in Haiti," he continued. "Since we live with this same threat every day, it is a natural response for Sport Chalet to help, and we are so pleased to be able to do so."
