Events · Wednesday, October 1st, 2008 – Wednesday, October 15th, 2008 Z-Coil Pain Relief Footwear in Anchorage Partners with Shoe Charity

Anchorage residents are invited to recycle their 'gently worn'
Shoes and boots for people in need

Every 23 seconds, Soles4Souls Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. The shoe charity has earned glowing endorsements from Hollywood stars and professional athletes, but the people that truly make the non-profit organization effective are those who clean out their closets to personally drop off their ‘gently worn’ shoes at a participating location, such as Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear.

For a limited time, Soles4Souls and Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear® will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or donations, to assist local people needing footwear before the harsh winter weather begins.

Whether people are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme poverty, shoes are a necessity. They prevent injury, frost bite and retain warmth to the body. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone's life.

“We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to change the world one pair at a time,” Mary, the owner of Z-CoiL said. “We need our partners in Anchorage to 'STEP UP' and get behind our call for action. It’s one of the most simple yet profound gifts you can make, because it will greatly improve someone’s life in the most difficult of times,” she said. All shoes will be given to people that are in need in the Anchorage area. If we have a great response and have more shoe or boots than can be use in the local area, we will find charitable organizations across the state that will insure that the shoes will be given away to people in need.

Z-CoiL Pain Relief Footwear® is located at the North West corner of Tudor and Old Seward Hwy in the City Center Mall. Hours of operation are Monday – Friday 10AM – 6PM and Saturday from 10AM – 4 PM. If you have any questions call 336-7463 during these hours.
