The Comerford Group Helps Soles4Souls Fight Poverty One Pair of Shoes at a Time
The Comerford Group at Keller Williams on the Water Sarasota spearheads yearlong shoe donation drive for Soles4Souls to help change lives through the power of a good pair of shoes.
SARASOTA, Fla., June 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Comerford Group is hosting the donation drive for Soles4Souls for the next year as part of the NALA's collective cause marketing program which encourages businesses across the country to unite for a good cause. New or gently worn pairs of shoes can be dropped off at 450 S. Tamiami Trl., Osprey, FL 34229.
"Giving is not just about making a donation; it's about making a difference. That's why we want to be a part of Soles4Souls," said Kathleen Comerford, founder of the Comerford Group and Broker Associate at Keller Williams On the Water Sarasota. "We are so grateful for what they are doing and want to rally together our community to help in their venture of providing for people in need. Shoes are such a basic human necessity, yet there are many that struggle to possess them. We can't wait to see how many pairs of shoes we collect for this great cause!"
Soles4Souls is a nonprofit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing. Children every day are prevented from attending school and adults are unable to work as walking becomes unbearable, which perpetuates the cycle of poverty.
"Businesses and individuals that host donation drives for Soles4Souls help us fulfill our mission by providing short-term relief and long-term solutions to global poverty," said Buddy Teaster, Soles4Souls CEO. "Every single one of those pairs of shoes collected by our partners makes a difference in someone's life."
