The Anita and Bill Thomas Soles4Souls Shoe Drive, hosted by the Northport and East Northport Rotary Clubs, is entering the final stretch, running through March 29 with drop-off locations throughout town.
Last year, the Rotary collected more than 10,000 pairs of shoes through its Soles4Souls drive, originally spearheaded by local residents Anita and Bill Thomas, who both passed away in May 2020, just six days apart. If the drive reaches the amount raised last year, the Rotary has pledged to donate 100 new pairs of shoes to Helping Hands/Family Service League in the Town of Huntington.
Soles4Souls accepts all styles and sizes of new or gently-used shoes and sneakers. Donations are being accepted at 80 locations in and around Northport and East Northport:
