COASTAL KIDS DENTAL HOLDS SHOE DRIVE

The Daniel Island News

March 10, 2010

Every 9 seconds, Soles4Souls, Inc. 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 Coastal Kids Dental.

For a limited time, Soles4Souls and Coastal Kids Dental will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or donations to ship the shoes to a person 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 are excited to assist Soles4Souls in collecting children’s shoes to donate to children of need around the world," said Dr Isabel Driggers, Pediatric Dentist/Owner of Coastal Kids Dental. "With March marking the change from Winter to Spring we are hoping that our patients and others in the community will think of us when they do their Spring cleaning."

Coastal Kids Dental is accepting children shoes for donation from March 1 to March 31 at all three locations. The most convenient to Daniel Island is their new office on Daniel Island at 899 Island Park Drive.
