Dropped 3 pairs off earlier today... they had a box full and hopefully will get more through the weekend.
FYI, here's info on the "free UPS shipping to Haiti" and "free American Airlines flights for doctors/nurses" hoaxes:

It's too bad we can't track down the people who start rumours like that. There really are some messed up people in this world.
Dropped 6 pairs of shoes/boots/sleepers yesterday...I asked the owner to provide me with a printed ad so I can post it on the bulltin board in my condo and I did! Looking forward for clothing/toys donations!
Donated some today...the clerk was extremely appreciative..and thanked me immensely....kinda nice!
I love generous people like you!! So thoughtful! I plan on donating a pair that I want to give for sure but not sure about others but hey, it's better than nothing. I haven't seen a bin to donate, though. Maybe it's inside so I'd have to check it out.
As I've made a thread about my brags, I've donated four pairs of shoes that I no longer wear/use to SoftMoc (as it's of walking distance from my place) just yesterday. Thanks for bringing this to my attention in the first place. I've posted on my sister's Facebook profile so the word gets out further. ;)

dropped off 5 pairs of shoes yesterday. since having my baby my feet grew, so had a bunch of shoes in need of a new pair of feet!
You guys are AWESOME! I have been collecting shoes from friends and family since I heard about this. I am also collecting from my work!
I am going to drop them off Thursday evening! I will post a pic of all of the shoes once I have gotten them all!
I had a complete stranger give me 31 pairs of shoes today! Thanks to the Facebook event! I went and picked them up for her as she doesn't have a car to get to a Soft Moc! What generosity!
I will post pics of all of the donations later on!
Keep it going!
Hey, I just want to bump this up and remind everyone that tomorrow is the last day that Soft Moc is accepting donations. Most stores are open until 9am tomorrow night.
I will be dropping off all of the shoes I have collected tonight. I will take some pictures and post them later!
Thanks for everyone's support and for those who donated :)
Bump again -- every pair helps!:-)Quote:

Last day to drop off your footwear - heading to the store now.
I donated six pairs of new/gently used shoes the other day!!! Felt great to be able to give to this disaster!!
They aren't taking any more donations at Masonville...she told me that I could take them to the wharehouse in Whitby......WHAT? Anyone else take them in today? I'm not dragging my two year old to another mall tonight! :(
I just went to Softmoc.com and they say that they will accept shoe donations until Jan 29th, so today is not the last day. It says small personal/individual donations only though.
Please keep giving...
They should have accepted any size of donation up until close yesterday. As of now, they are only able to accept small donations (1-5 pairs) until January 29th, 2010.Quote:

They should have taken your donations at Masonville though if you went there yesterday!
Well, I ended up collected 131 pairs of shoes. When I took all of the bags of shoes into Soft Moc Thursday night the girl asked if I was the one from Canada Post, lol.
Soft Moc collected over 60,000+ pairs of shoes in just 1 week! They are taking more donations for the next week, until January 29th (1-5pairs per person) so take advantage of this if you were unable to go the past week.

i actually went to my local Soft Moc today to donate 5 pairs of shoes, the lady there told me the event ended yesterday, but she said she would be happy to take them to the local collection center herself. such a nice lady!
Meguwo your a great person wtg.
Thanks :)
I'll have to try again, I had two large bags and was kind of upset that she said that...I cant afford to ship them so maybe I'll have to take a few trips.Quote:
