E.L.M. Shoes launches shoe drive

E.L.M. SHOES, 3 Center Square, is hosting a shoe drive to benefit Soles4Souls. During the shoe drive, E.L.M. SHOES will be offering a 15 percent discount to all customers who bring in gently worn pairs of shoes toward the effort. The shoe drive runs through Aug. 30.

"We are excited about the opportunity to benefit both those in need and our customers with our Trade IN event." Loren Martin, president of E.L.M. SHOES, said. "We all have shoes setting in our closet that we don't wear any more. By trading them in they can benefit someone in need and you can have the opportunity to save 15 percent off a new pair of shoes," said Martin.

"We are thrilled that E.L.M. SHOES is acting on our behalf to spread joy to people, both here in the United States and around the world," said Wayne Elsey, founder of Soles4Souls. "It is only because of proactive retail stores, such as E.L.M. SHOES, that we are able to accomplish our goal of getting shoes on the feet of people who need them most," he said.
