RE/MAX Realtor Dave Larsen Helping Soles4Souls Wear Out Poverty

Realtor Dave Larsen of the Larsen Group and RE/MAX Partners, spearheads shoe donation drive for Soles4Souls to help people in need.

Dave Larsen, of the Larsen Group and RE/MAX Partners, is proud to announce his office is now an official and permanent drop-off location for Soles4Souls, a nonprofit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing. New or gently worn pairs of shoes can be dropped off at RE/MAX Partners, 250 W. Main St., Suite 203, Tustin, CA.

“All people should have shoes, not only because they are a basic necessity, but a necessity for health,” said Larsen. “I strongly encourage everyone in the community to drop by my office and give a pair of shoes to help a person in need.”

Soles4Souls aims to eradicate extreme poverty by 2050. Children every day are prevented from attending school and adults are unable to work as walking becomes unbearable, which perpetuates the cycle of poverty. To date, Soles4Souls has collected and distributed more than 26 million pairs of shoes to those in need in 127 countries around the world and all 50 states in the U.S.

“Every pair of donated shoes counts, and can provide relief today so thousands can succeed tomorrow,” concluded Larsen. “Every person in the world should have at least one good pair of shoes, and you can help make that happen.”
