ECS Exercise and the Arlington Hockey Club have launched a drive now through August 3 to collect shoes to help the poor.  Used and new shoes can be dropped off at ECS Exercise,  10 Dorn Road, right off of Route 55 in Lagrangeville.

The shoes that Arlington Hockey Club collects will be delivered to Soles4Souls , an international anti-poverty organization that monetizes used shoes and clothing to create sustainable jobs and fund direct relief efforts, including distribution of new shoes and clothing. Soles4Souls has distributed more than 22 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries.  Imagine, your old shoes helping that many people. And you'll have a clean closet!

So, get to your closet and get rid of those shoes that are too tight, too big, or not in style.  For more information, visit arlingtonhockeyclub.com, ecexrcise.com, or soles4souls.org.
