Westport Town Hall, Senior Center Undertake Soles4Souls Campaign

From the Town of Westport:

WESTPORT, CT - Westport First Selectman Jim Marpe announced today that the Soles4Souls Campaign is underway in Westport. Through the month of October, in-kind donations of serviceable shoes may be placed in the boxes located in the lobbies of Town Hall (110 Myrtle Avenue) and the Center for Senior Activities (21 Imperial Avenue). Contributors are asked to either tie the laces or use rubber bands to insure that the pairs stay intact.

Local citizen Ken Bernhard has once again taken on the effort to place the collection boxes and will arrange for pickup and delivery to the organization.

Soles4Souls is a global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing. Since its inception, Soles4Souls has distributed more than 22 million pairs of shoes to both children and adults and has provided countless opportunities for indigent people to start small businesses.
