Roderer Shoe Center Announces Shoe Drive
RODERER SHOE CENTER in KETTERING, ANNOUNCES SHOE DRIVE TO BENEFIT
SOLES4SOULS™ Inc. AT THE TOWN AND COUNTRY SHOPPING CENTER LOCATION
Dayton residents are invited to recycle their 'gently worn' shoes for people in need
Every 7 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 a participating location, such as Roderer Shoe Center.
Soles4Souls and Roderer Shoe Center will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or monetary donations to ship the shoes to a person in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme poverty. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone's life.
“We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to change the world one pair at a time,” said Wayne Elsey, founder and CEO of Sole4Souls Inc. “We appreciate our partners in Kettering for stepping up and getting behind our call for action."
In 1906 George Roderer opened his first family shoe store. One hundred and four years and five generations later his great-grandson Marty Roderer, and Marty’s children Emily and Chris continue the family business at the Roderer Shoe Center in Kettering.
Drop off dates are October 15th thru October 24th. For each donated pair of lightly worn shoes you will receive a $10 off coupon valid for shoe purchases only. A maximum of one coupon may be used for each pair purchased at Roderer Shoe Center through November 14th. The drop off is located in the Town and Country Shopping Center next to Roderer Shoe Center. Hours of drop off are Monday thru Saturday 10am-7pm and Sundays from noon-5pm.
“We’re proud to show our support for Soles4Souls through this donation drive. It allows our customers the opportunity to contribute to such a worthwhile cause. Shoes are a basic essential that many of us take for granted,” said Emily Roderer.
