::RON WHITE SHOE DRIVE::

Today I had the pleasure of being involved in Ron White's 13th Annual Shoe Drive for the Homeless. (Video, I have touque-hair, leave me alone...) Ron started his philanthropic initiative after seeing a homeless man in Toronto with his toes sticking out of his shoes in the winter, something we've all seen, way too often. He's asking people to simply go through their closets, collect up some old but lightly worn winter shoes and boots, and drop them off at any of his Store Locations. Who ever thought taking out your garbage could affect positive change? Ron's hoping to get 2500 pairs this year, more than ever, and a truly attainable goal if everyone takes a moment to clean out their closet!! If you don't live in Toronto, you can easily "follow in Ron's footsteps", and donate your old shoes, boots, coats and clothing to homeless shelters, Goodwill, the Salvation Army, and a variety of other places to ensure that our least fortunate people are warm this winter. This time of year shelters are low on warm winter items, and your old stuff can go a long way in keeping someone warm. Thanks to Ron White, and everyone involved for their conscientous efforts!
