Shoe Carnival gives soles to the world

For the third time in two years, Shoe Carnival is partnering with shoe charity Soles4Souls Inc. through Sept. 29 to give away shoes to those in need.

Customers at all 314 store locations, including one at Westwood Plaza in West Ashley and Azalea Square in Summerville, will have the opportunity to donate $1 at the register.

The Evansville, Ind.-based company hopes to raise at least $140,000 through the in-store program. All funds will be applied toward sending a new pair of shoes to victims of natural disasters or those living in extreme poverty, both in the U.S. and around the world.
