The Sullivans encourage families in the Delaware and Maryland areas to contribute children’s shoes that are no longer needed and are in very good condition to help benefit youngsters with needs.
“All of us at the Good Feet Stores in Millsboro and Dover are seeking new and gently used children’s shoes of all kinds and all sizes for our Share Your Soles for Christmas shoe drive,” said Tom Sullivan.
Shoe donations may be placed in giving boxes located in the front of the Good Feet Store in the Food Lion Shopping Center in Millsboro and the Good Feet Store in Dover, 706-B N. DuPont Highway, opposite Arby’s.
The most needed types of shoes for the shoe drive are those sizes and styles that are most often needed by local children up to the age of 15. Those who wish to donate are asked to tie or buckle shoes together.
Contributions of new shoes can be left in their original packing box and should not be wrapped in holiday gift paper.
Jean Sullivan said most Americans take shoes for granted, but some children in the local communities have no such luxury. “Many of our children have shoes for every occasion,” Jean Sullivan said. “We are aware that there may be a number of children living in our communities who only have one pair of shoes and of other children who have only one pair that are falling off their feet.”
The Sullivans emphasized that no shoe donation is too small. “Every pair of shoes makes a big difference to that one local child who receives them,” said Tom Sullivan.
