Shoes for Haiti

This morning I volunteered to help out with a project called "Shoes for Haiti," that a fellow designer and friend of mine, Jess White, organized. For the last few weeks Jess has worked with Gary Gribble's Running Sports and others to collect shoes for the people of Haiti. This was all done in conjunction with an organization called Soles4Souls, which has committed one million pairs of shoes for Haiti relief.

It was exciting to see so many people working together today, giving their time and energy for a country that can really use our assistance right now. The group worked for 6.5 hours, and by the end 11,335 pairs of shoes had been collected and packed to send off to Haiti. Here are a few shots from the work that went on today.
