Brick and Mortar Living wants to help “heel” those in need of shoes this season.
The downtown store is holding its third annual Shoe the Shoeless holiday shoe drive.
“Anything,” Jenn Pistone says when asked why types of footwear they want. “We just ask that they aren’t falling apart.”
The store is collecting gently used shoes for kids and adults and hopes to beat its previous total – 235 pairs in 2012 and 206 pairs last year.
The shoes typically go to Lookout Emergency Aid Society and the Elizabeth Fry Society. Both are New Westminster-based agencies that help vulnerable men and women.
There is a particular need for men’s shoes, Pistone said.
The Shoe Drive runs until Dec. 24. Drop by the shop, at 52 Sixth St., with shoes that could be put to good use by someone in need.
