Silhouette Joins In The Cause With Soles 4 Souls

Silhouette School of Dance and Fine Arts recently volunteered to become the only west side Cleveland location to accept Nashville based Soles 4 Souls shoe collection. An international non-profit organization serving 127 different countries, Soles 4 Souls has successfully donated over 15 million pairs of shoes over the past 6 years. With a simple mission, bringing shoes to those areas of the world where individuals have limited access to shoes, Soles 4 Souls accepts both child and adult shoe sizes.

When Miss Donna of Silhouette DANCE heard about the efforts to collect shoes for the needy on the east side of Cleveland, based out of Ratner School, she immediately felt the need to give west-siders the same opportunity to dig into their closets and make a difference in the lives of others. The donation process is easy- just take your new or gently used shoes to the drop box outside of either location of Silhouette DANCE. From there, Silhouette parent and student volunteers will take the time to bundle and box up the shoes for donation.

Lakewoodites will also have a chance to donate at the Lakewood Community Festival. Look for the drop box at this great community event on Saturday, September 10 at Madison Park.  This is a great chance to do some good and meet up with your friends and neighbors at the same time. So do your part and head down to either the Silhouette Main Ballroom (12501 Madison Avenue) or Silhouette DANCE TOO (15641 Madison Avenue) to share your shoes with others. The boxes will be out at all times through October 7, so there is no need to restrict your generosity to a certain time of day. Or, if you would prefer, just bring the shoes along with you to the Lakewood Community Festival (Madison Park, 13029 Madison Avenue). And don't forget to thank your drop-box volunteers- they will be sorting, tying and boxing those shoes later, so that all those shoes can travel across the world and into the hands (or rather the feet)of those most in need.
