Community Project: Shoes for the Needy

Sarasota Foot Care Center Blog Community Project: Shoes for the Needy

Sarasota Foot Care Center has started their shoe drive for the needy. We will be collecting slightly worn/used athletic shoes which will be given to the local Salvation Army Center. They will then distribute the shoes to the individuals in need. Currently the drop off location is at the main office of Sarasota Foot Care Center, 1921 Waldemere Street, Sarasota. Other sites will be available in the near future and we will keep you posted of their location. Thank you for helping with the worthwhile much needed project.

Committed to your health,

Dr. Craig Conti
