PartnerShip Lends a Hand to Soles4Souls

11/14/2013 — Matt Nagel

As the endorsed shipping provider for the National Shoe Retailers Association (NSRA), PartnerShip is exhibiting and attending the 2013 NSRA Annual Leadership Conference in Boston, Massachusetts this week. Yesterday, PartnerShip employees Brian Ferancy and Harry Centa, had the opportunity to volunteer at a Soles4Souls event providing shoes to Boston's less privileged.

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Soles4Souls is a global not-for-profit institution dedicated to fighting the devastating impact and perpetuation of poverty. The organization advances its anti-poverty mission by collecting new and used shoes and clothes from individuals, schools, faith-based institutions, civic organizations and corporate partners, then distributing those shoes and clothes both via direct donations to people in need and by provisioning qualified micro-enterprise programs designed to create jobs in poor and disadvantaged communities.

This week's event, which was held at the Pine Street Inn in downtown Boston, provided approximately 200 pairs of shoes to people who needed them! We are very proud that PartnerShip employees were able to help out with such a worthy cause!

Here are some pictures from the event that were posted to the PartnerShip Flickr page ...
