WARREN COUNTY, OH -- "We appreciate and thank everyone who has donated so far to our second annual shoe drive fundraiser," said HART Volunteer/Fundraising Coordinator Brenda Porter.

HART has collected approximately 3,000 pairs of shoes and boots and has only one week to go to reach its goal of 5,000 pairs.

"No donation is too small, and as the attached graphic shows, every pair counts and enables us to provide food and veterinary care to the HART animals awaiting their forever homes," Porter explained.

HART is asking everyone to take a look around their homes and if they have any unwanted shoes or boots, in any size or style, to please donate them to the HART and 'Sole' Fundraiser.
