We are only one week away from Our Hearts To Your Soles 2014, and we couldn’t be more excited! Volunteers have been lined up, the donations have started rolling in, and everyone is ready to get this great community event under way.
For those of you who missed our initial post or our press release, Our Hearts To Your Soles is set to take place on November 25 at the Christian Charities Dorothy Day Center in St. Paul. The center is located at 183 Old 6th Street in St. Paul. The event will take place from 5:30 to 7:45pm.
So many wonderful sponsors have stepped up to provide supplies and other necessities for the event. We’d like to say “thanks” to Soles 4 Soles, Red Wing Shoe Company, Dignity U Wear, Catholic Charities and all the individual volunteers who are helping ensure this event will be a success.
Another reason I wanted to do a second post on Our Hearts To Your Soles is because we’ve had another generous donation! Interstate Parking has donated a parking lot so attendees and volunteers can park for free near the Dorothy Day Center. Interstate Parking has donated the parking spots in lot 2034 to those attending Our Hearts To Your Soles 2014. The lot is located at 212 W. 9th Street in Saint Paul, and you can get directions to the lot by clicking here. Thanks again to Interstate Parking for making those spaces available.
The goal of Our Hearts To Your Soles is to ensure area homeless and financially burdened individuals have access to foot care and footwear ahead of the cold winter months. We were able to outfit 445 individuals with a new pair of shoes at last year’s event, and we are hoping to top that number this year. Local doctors and lawyers will also be on hand to provide foot exams and legal consultation for those who need extra health or legal care.
We can’t wait to see you all in a week! If you have any questions before the big day, send me an email at info@anklefootmd.com!
Thanks,
Dr. Lance Silverman
