Wikiboot of Montreal Canada donates 2000 pairs of shoes & boots to Soles4Souls


This past August I received a call from Allen Shulman of  Wikiboot to ask if I would be interested in a donation to Soles4Souls Canada of approximately 2000 pairs of boots and shoes. I called back immediately and expressed my interest in such a donation.

When a call like this is received; with this size of donation it takes a lot of co-ordination to execute the donation.
In the ensuing weeks we were able to:
  1. Get the appropriate truck to pick-up the 15 pallets in Dorval and then deliver
  2. Secure the storage space for the shoes
  3. Get Volunteer help for the coordination.
So I want to take this opportunity to thank:
  1. Soles4Souls Volunteer Renee H. Blanchette for all of  her co-ordination to get the shoes and boots picked-up
  2.  Janik Fauteux of “ENTOURAGE, services de relocalisation” who helped Coordinate
  3. CA Déménagement who provided the driver and truck to be able to accept the donation.
  4. Jean-Claude Sentinel Storage of Montreal for the storage pace to hold the donation
  5. Allen Shulman of  Wikiboots and their team for having the foresight to make such a charitable donation
From  at Soles4Souls Canada we want to thank you all for your time and effort.
It means so much to us.
Donald,
Donald J.L. Robichaud

It matters what you choose to do today—not tomorrow or sometime in the future. People are hurting, and you have the ability to do something about it. 
What will you do today to leave a lasting impact?  
Our 10 year goal at Soles4Souls Canada is to collect 10 million pairs of gently worn shoes from every province in Canada.
