ShoesForHaitNow.com has a simple goal: collect 100,000 pairs of shoes to send to the people of Haiti.
BlogCatalog and BloggersUnite have offered their support to the Shoes For Haiti Now project. Not only will we be helping to promote the site, but we will also be collecting shoes at our BlogCatalog offices. People in the San Antonio, TX area can bring new or gently used shoes to our offices Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. You can also mail shoes to us.
Our office is located on the 2nd floor at:
7126 Eckhert Rd, STE 209
San Antonio, TX 78238
Because of the issues with getting relief materials into Haiti, the shoes that we collect will most likely be taken to organizations in the area that can transport them to and distribute them in Haiti. We are working on coordinating our efforts with aid groups or other partners who can get the shoes to Haiti. I’ll update this post once we have confirmed which group will be handling the distribution.
If you have any questions you can send an email titled Shoes For Haiti to jason@blogcatalog (dot) com, or you can use the Contact Now button on the sidebar of ShoesForHaitiNow.com. This button will Ask you to enter your name and phone number; once you hit connect, it will call the number you have entered and connect you with the Shoes For Haiti Now voicemail through Google Voice. Just leave a message there and someone will contact you ASAP.
