Shoe Charity and Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear of Farmington for Haitian Relief Efforts
Soles4Souls and Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear in Farmington have joined forces to bring shoes to victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti.
Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear will collect footwear and funds to support Soles4Souls’ commitment to donate more than 1 million pairs of shoes to affected areas. Beginning January 22, 2010, through February 28, 2010, customers at Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear in Farmington will have the opportunity to drop off gently-worn shoes. All donations will directly support relief efforts. The retailer will also offer a 10% discount on a new pair of footwear with the donation of a gently worn pair. Some restrictions will apply; see a sales associate for details.
Soles4Souls has partnered with Operation Compassion, a charity that mobilizes support for victims of natural disasters around the world, to transport and distribute the aid. Thirty containers of supplies, including work boots, rain boots, children’s athletic shoes and clothing items, are already en route to Haiti.
“As we struggle to comprehend the magnitude of this disaster, we cannot forget how important basic necessities – such as shoes – will be in the ongoing rescue and rebuilding efforts,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. “We deeply appreciate the support of Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear in Farmington and their customers in helping us provide shoes to survivors and volunteers as they work in horrific conditions.”
The death toll from Tuesday’s quake continues to rise, and survivors and rescuers are facing dire health conditions including stifling heat, lack of clean water, broken glass and raw sewage.
“We are thrilled to be joining forces with the Sole4Souls organization,” said Mark Poole, President of Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear in Farmington. “With footwear being such a significant part of our business, Soles4Souls was a natural fit and we are happy to be a destination for our customers to contribute to Haitian Relief.”
