Stan’s Share-a-Pair Shoe and Sock Drive | Sharing Love in Milwaukee this Winter
GREATER MILWAUKEE, WI – Stan’s Fit for Your Feet is bringing back its signature “Share-a-Pair” Shoe and Sock Drive this February in a time with the greater Milwaukee community needs it most. The economic impact of COVID-19 has left many in Greater Milwaukee struggling to make ends meet. Unemployment is high and the need to help others in our community is great.
The “Share-a-Pair” Shoe and Sock Drive aims to get gently used shoes, sneakers, and boots for men, women and kids (as well as new socks) into the hands (and onto the feet) of those in need via partnerships with local non-profits.
