Next Tuesday, November 20th (a week from today), Silverman Ankle & Foot will be participating in “Our Hearts to Your Soles” – an annual philanthropic event where we provide shoes, socks, and care to local homeless people.
This event is held in tandem with “Soles4Soles” – a national non-profit organization that distributes footwear to the homeless in forty cities around the country every year. This year marks the eighth year the Twin Cities has participated.
Event Details:
- When? Tuesday November 20, 2012 from 4:30 to 7:00 pm
- Where? St. Stephen’s Human Services. 2123 Clinton Ave. S., Minneapolis, MN 55404
Silverman Ankle & Foot is providing the financial support for this year’s event. In addition Red Wing Shoes will be donating 500 shoes for the event, Isotoner is donating 300 hats, and Dignity U Wear is donating 600 pairs of socks. There will also be physical therapists in attendance to teach therapeutic exercise, and lawyers available to provide legal advice to the homeless.
Last year we were able to help roughly 375 homeless people. We hope to help even more this year. If you can, please consider donating to “Soles4Soles” at http://www.soles4souls.org/give/. It is a wonderful charity that can really make an impact in the lives of the homeless.
