Soles 4 Soles

Rotarian Adele Sjoberg is asking Nechako Rotarians, friends and family to clean out their closets of the older, slightly worn shoes, boots, sandals and footwear that still has some miles left in them, to donate to this years "Soles4Soles" program.

The Soles4Soles program is currently being sponsored as a Rotary Project in Kelowna.  Due to the lateness in the year, the Nechako Rotary Club decided not to be directly involved in 2011, as we did not have time to arrange for media, storage and transportation of the donated footwear.

For 2011 however, Adele is arranging for the footwear to be dropped off at her store for short term storage, where the shoes will be organized and donated to various locations.  

Some of the shoes will remain in the communities in northern BC, while some will be relocated to needy recipients in the other parts of the province, or shipped to other locations, including offshore countries.

Please drop off your donations to Adele's store "Timberline Footfitters" or bring them to the next Nechako Club meeting for Adele to collect.  Otherwise you might find Adele literally "taking the shoes right off your feet"

Thank you Adele for helping coordinate this very worthwhile program in Prince George this year.  Hopefully, next year we can expand this into a local Rotary Club Project..
