PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire/ — In an attempt to lend support and aid to victims of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, Olive Juice is putting their right foot forward and donating over 200 pairs of unworn shoes to the non-profit Soles4Souls, which is committed to providing 100,000 pairs of shoes to those affected by the magnitude 7.0 earthquake.

In partnering and working with other organizations, like Olive Juice, Soles4Souls is sending emergency aid, including but not limited to: footwear, food, medical supplies, bottled water, blankets, baby products, and more. Olive Juice has been a long time contributor and supporter of Soles4Souls and could not let this natural disaster, which has affected as many as 500,000 people, go by without doing something about it.

“In times such as this it is imperative that we act as selfless as possible to help those who truly need it,” said Olive Juice Founder and CEO Maryellen Kane. “The Haitian people are going through turmoil that we cannot even begin to imagine, and making this donation to Soles4Souls is the least we could do. Soles4Souls is an outstanding organization and we fully support their efforts to lend aid in this time of tragedy.”

 ”We are deeply saddened by the tragedy unfolding in Haiti,” said Wayne Elsey, Founder and CEO of Soles4Souls. “This is going to require a sustained humanitarian effort from all of us who can give, and Soles4Souls will be here to do our part with the gift of shoes to aid in the rescue and rebuilding process.”

 In addition to the shoe donation, Olive Juice is also donating several hundred new pieces of their quality children’s apparel.
