(HealthNewsDigest.com) - Foot Solutions, on behalf of Soles4Souls, the international charity dedicated to providing free footwear to people in desperate need, has now reached an estimated 100,000 pairs of donated shoes. Shortly after the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Foot Solutions stores asked the public to drop off their gently used shoes at any of their 240 worldwide locations and or to contribute monetary donations for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. In an incredible outpouring of support, the public responded by donating 100,000 of shoes in just over one week. The shoes will shipped to help the victims to the earthquake, many of whom lost everything.
"Like so many others, we want to do everything we can to help, "said Ray Margiano, Foot Solutions CEO and Founder. "Almost everyone has shoes in their closet that they don't use and donating them is a great way to help those who can't or don't feel comfortable donating money. And as we are in the business of helping people find solutions to health issues through footwear this cause is a perfect fit for us."
