Teenshop's Shoes for Life Community Service Project

 

Do you have new or gently worn shoes to help families in need? Can you donate evening shoes to help a girl feel like a star on Prom Night?  

   

On April 13, 2013, 11:00am - 2:00pm at Berean Presbyterian Church (Broad and Diamond Streets), UAC Program Partner, Teenshop will hold its 3rd Annual Shoes for Life Community Service Project. Families in need will have an opportunity to receive new or gently worn shoes. Doctors from the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine will also be on site to provide free foot screenings.

 

New this year, Teenshop will partner with Fairy Godmothers Inc. of PA to have a Celebrity Prom Shoes Salon with donated shoes from celebrities to help girls be stars on Prom Night!

 

To donate shoes for this event, please call 215-851-1842.
