Flip Flop and Fly!

Imagine having to spend all summer wearing whatever footwear you wore all winter… For most of us when the snow melts we change from winter boots  to our runners, then to flip flops and all kinds of sandals and assorted summer footwear. Then think back to a nice +30 day and you’re still stuck in those winter boots….

Shel Zolkewich noticed this, and she is now on a mission to collect all types of sandals, flip flops and summer footwear for those who don’t have any. These are being donated to Siloam Mission and her goal is to collect as many as possible! You can drop them off at Siloam Mission, 300 Princess Street in  Winnipeg (204) 956-4344.  You can also contact Shel directly at shel@shelzolkewich.com  or contact me with any questions or to set something up.

My first thought when I heard this is the $1 flip flop sale at Old Navy – it should be coming up soon, and it’s an easy way for people to donate a bunch at one time. I’ll be letting you know when I find out the date, or if anyone knows please contact me. For the price of a coffee several people could have some summer footwear…. If anyone has any good ideas on how to coordinate something, a company willing to donate a bunch etc. let me know 🙂  And thanks to Shel for coming up with this great idea!
