I found out about this making a difference story through my grandson’s Facebook page. A senior at Francis Howell Central, he was chosen as rep to promote the drive there.
The TOMS Shoes Story: TOMS Shoes was founded in 2006 when American traveler, Blake Mycoskie, befriended children in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created a company that would match every pair of shoes sold, with a pair given to a child in need. One for One. With a group of family, friends and staff, Blake returned to the same area later that year with 10,000 pairs of shoes made possible by caring TOMS customers. Since that first Shoe Drop, TOMS Shoes has given over 140,000 pairs of shoes to children in need around the world.

I saw Matthew's facebook entry about this company. Sounds like a great idea, unfortunately, I can't wear those shoes.
