SEATTLE AREA RETAILERS ANNOUNCES SHOE DRIVE “SOLE OF SEATTLE TO BENEFIT SOLES4SOULS™ Inc., THE SHOE CHARITY, AT MULTIPLE LOCATIONS ACROSS THE PUGET SOUND AREA.

Seattle -Area residents are invited to recycle their "gently worn" shoes for people in need during the month of December.

Seattle, WA – November 2009 – Every 9 seconds, Soles4Souls, Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. The shoe charity has earned glowing endorsements from Hollywood stars and professional athletes, but the people that truly make the non-profit organization effective are those who clean out their closets to personally drop off their “gently worn” shoes at all participating locations: EQPT, evo, GEMS Sneakershop, ian, , Resoul, RPS-Rock Paper Scissors, Shoes-n-Feet, The Sneakery, Sole Food, Upper Playground, and Zebra Club.

DURING THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, WE ARE ASKING OUR CUSTOMERS, FRIENDS AND THE COMMUNITY TO COME DOWN TO OUR SHOP DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AND GIVE THEIR “HEART AND SOLE” BY DONATING YOUR UNUSED SHOES TO THE SOLE OF SEATTLE. WE WILL THEN SEND THEM OFF TO SOLES4SOULS. “We are all very excited to have partnered with each other and collaboratively work to bring together the importance of giving back with the spirit of the holiday season,” says John Mooney of GEMS Sneaker shop.

As a special THANK YOU-On Saturday December 12th as an added incentive to support our shoe drive, all participating locations will provide a 20% discount off a new pair of shoes upon donation.

A special thank you to our friends at Diecutstickers.com, D-List Magazine and Branch& Burleson Foundation for all their efforts.
