Nationwide Shoe Drive with the NALA and Soles4Souls
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 13, 2013 -- Shop Local for a Cause is an opportunity for businesses to bring their communities together by offering special discounts or incentives on special days, while supporting national causes. Some of the businesses accepting shoe donations for Soles4Souls include Dave Tebbe - State Farm Insurance Agent in Shawnee, KS, Roger Ellsworth - State Farm Insurance Agent in Elkhart, IN, Anton Family Insurance Agency in St Louis, MO, Richele Brainin Agency - State Farm Insurance in Chicago, IL, Farmers Insurance Group, Thomas R Shafer & Lori R Mason agent in Ottumwa, IA and Dale J Long Agency in Encinitas, CA and Tim Lambros Agency in Tucson, AZ, both with State Farm Insurance.
This is the NALA’s fourth Shop Local for a Cause event, an awareness campaign which supports local businesses and national causes. To find a local business participating and collecting shoes for Soles4Souls, please visit http://www.shoplocalforacause.com/local.
Experts estimate that approximately 300 million children worldwide – almost as many as the entire U.S. population – live without shoes on their feet. This event will enable Soles4Souls to continue working to prevent this distress and better the lives of those in need.
