Giving New Life to Old Shoes for Those in Need

Daphne, AL (December 11, 2014) – You may have put a lot of miles on your old running shoes, but when you donate them to the “Many More Miles” campaign, your shoes will land on the feet of someone who really needs them.

For the 12^th consecutive year, Baldwin Bone & Joint, P.C. will once again host this important community project, partnering with Mobile and Baldwin County YMCA branches, the Port City Pacers, USA Student Recreation Center and McCoy Outdoor Company to collect shoes for the homeless outreach programs of Wings of Life and Discovery Ministries. Response to the campaign has grown since its inception from 200 pairs donated in 2003 to just under 1400 pairs contributed in 2014. With the kickoff beginning early January each year, donations for 2015 are now being accepted with final shoe drop-offs received at the 2015 Azalea Trail Run on March 28.
