Donate your shoes to help the people in Haiti

[AWN2004]

Everyone talks about helping people out but not too many people do something about it. If you live in a city that has a Sport Chalet retail store, they are taking donations of slightly worn shoes to send to Haiti. Since I have what seems like hundreds of pairs of sneakers I've only ever worn a couple times, they are getting donated to help those people. I just thought I'd pass this on so anyone that has a pair or two that never gets worn can help someone in need.

Thanks AWN, I have a brand new pair of shoes I never worn. I will check with the local Sports Chalet.

I believe UPS will also ship any package that contain items to help Haiti for free. We are putting a package together today. Blankets, clothes,etc.

Great idea. Ironic, just last week someone I knew had a neighbor whose house burnt down and the family lost everything. He was close to my size so i gave him all my old clothes and shoes that i dont wear anymore.

Nothing feels better than giving!

So he was huge i guess? Giving is an awsome deed. A local radio station here in ny did socks for soldiers, and i sent 500 pairs of socks to the station.

Im all about helping when i can..

If my life was just a little more in order at the moment, i would really love to adobt a baby girl or 2 from hati.... So many orphans before this and now there is so many more..its heart breaking... The mothers there just give the kids away because they cant afford to take care of them and the kids end-up as slaves, or sometimes even worse... My dream is to take a child from a bad place, and give them a great life here. anyway... im off topic!

We dont have one of those shoe stores here... but the local Convenience store had a donation thing set-up by the red cross and i donated some cash.

I much rather see things like this happen that the retarded bullshit that the president is trying to pull

"don't send anythuihng but your money , we will make sure it goes where it needs to" Please don't piss on my feet and tell me it raining
**broken link removed**

how much of the funds that alot of people are going nto send do you think will really get their. Maybe half , the red cross and salvation army yea , the government , hell no

Un fucking believable , I may end up taking a 7-10 days job down their as security , not sure if the money is gonna be worth the grief

Just checked UPS website and they are not accepting packages. They suggest donating to the Red Cross, CARE, or UNICEF. UPS says they are providing financial support and emergency logistics assistance.
