Miami Lakes has partnered with Loving Soles for the second year in an effort to collect shoes for the needy in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The local charity dedicated to providing shoes to Miami's homeless, founded by Tony Garcia, Dr. Daryl Gershbein, Dr. John and Ileana McGoohan's teenage children, will donate gently worn shoes to Camillus house.
"As we approach the holiday season, we're reminded of our good fortune and the importance of helping others," said Councilmember Tony Lama. "Last year our community donated over 400 pairs of shoes. With the help of Loving Soles, and the residents of our community, I know we can exceed last year's numbers."
The shoe drive is scheduled to take place throughout November. Bring your gently worn shoes to Town Hall, 6601 Main Street until 10 a.m. on November 22.
A closing event for the drive will take place from 10:30 a.m. to noon on November 22 at Town Hall. For information, contact Gina Inguanzo via email at inguanog@miamilakes-fl.gov, or at 305-364-6100.
