This swap is pairing up and has 2 parts....Socks for you and Shoes for a cause. Part #1. You will swap with one partner a pair of socks of your choosing. Part #2. Send a pair of used or new shoes that will go to help turn into spay/neuter funds for a rescue group,The Pet Orphanage.(You can see more about them on facebook) In turn those shoes will also end up in other countries to help other communities, so you will actually be helping 2 charity groups at the same time! The shoes can be any size adult, childrens, baby, can be boots, flip flops, athletic, high heels, slippers, just anything and should be gently used or new pairs. If you are a pet lover, you know that shelters and rescue groups can always use the help and this would be a good way without a lot of out of pocket expense other than postage. A pair of flip flops wouldn't cost much to send or you could fill a flat rate box for a certain price. Clean out your unwanted shoes from your closets if you can help. You can even get them from a thrift store if you wish. Style is unimportant but condition means more. While you will be rated for the socks you send to your partner, the rating for The Pet Orphanage would be a hand made gift OR a treat for your pet in return. Specify cat or dog of if you don't have one, just request handmade gift. The more shoes sent, the better the return. Shoes must arrive by November 1st. Our goal is to collect 2,500 pair by that deadline. We are now half way there. I thought it would be fun project to see where they all come from. Shoes can be sent to The Pet Orphanage c/o Wanda Stivison, PO Box 150, Union Furnace, OH 43158. Thanks in advance for all of your help.
