Hi all,
Although today should be another BooTuesday, I wanted to take the time to encourage everyone to give back this holiday season. We are so fortunate to wear fabulous shoes everyday and even more fortunate to search for our next winning pair. However, as I’m sure you all know, not everyone has this luxury. There are over 300 MILLION children in need of shoes throughout the world, and countless adults who also need help.
This season I’m asking everyone to do whatever they can to help out with the “shoe crisis”. It can be as simple as reaching into your closet and taking out one pair you haven’t worn in a while. And, if it helps you, then take out one pair, donate it, and then buy yourself another–and consider making a monetary donation as well. 
Or, you can help fundraise for charities that help children and adults find shoes. Even better, you can purchase a pair of Tom’s shoes and your money will go directly to shoes for people in need.
Making a donation is so simple and regardless of what kind of horrible day you may be having, helping out a stranger will instantly lift your spirits. Below are some helpful websites where you can find more info about how to fundraise, donate and volunteer your time. Thank you for your help and Happy Holidays!
I just love this post. It’s always great to remember and reach out to others this time of year.
I totally agree! It should happen throughout the entire year as well.
Thanks ME!
