DONNELLY EURO FOOTWEAR ANNOUNCES SHOE DRIVE TO BENEFIT SOLES4SOULS™ Inc., THE SHOE CHARITY,

AT 402 N. DONNELLY STREET, MT. DORA FLORIDA

ON NOVEMBER 21, 2008

Central Florida residents are invited to recycle their 'gently worn' shoes for people in need

Nashville, TN – DATE – Every 23 seconds, Soles4Souls Inc. http://www.soles4souls.org/ gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. The shoe charity has earned glowing endorsements from Hollywood stars and professional athletes, but the people that truly make the non-profit organization effective are those who clean out their closets to personally drop off their ‘gently worn’ shoes at a participating location, such as Donnelly Euro Footwear.

For a limited time, Soles4Souls and Donnelly Euro Footwear will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or donations to ship the shoes to people in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme poverty. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone's life.

“We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to change the world one pair at a time,” Elsey said. “We need our partners in Central Florida to 'STEP UP' and get behind our call for action. It’s one of the most simple yet profound gifts you can make, because it will greatly improve someone’s life in the most difficult of times,” he said.

“Donnelly Euro Footwear is proud to assist in this very worthwhile benevolence. Most Americans forget how fundamental shoes are to our everyday existence. For most folks a simple donation of shoes that they no longer want or need can make a real difference in the lives of people that have no shoes at all. To thank folks for their donations of gently worn shoes, Donnelly Euro Footwear will give them $10 for each pair they donate towards the purchase of a new pair of shoes or handbag. This is a great way for folks to rid themselves of shoes they no longer want, get a new pair of shoes for themselves and they can feel good about the donation they have made. Whether victims of a natural disaster or people living in poverty, Soles4Souls make these shoes available to those in need throughout the USA and the world. Soles4Souls is an awesome opportunity for everyone to help make the world a better place.” Jim Timberlake, Donnelly Euro Footwear. www.GoodComfortableShoes.com The event at Donnelly Euro Footwear will run November 21^st through December 21^st.

People and companies interested in donating can visit the organization’s website at www.giveshoes.org, and follow the instructions.
