Get Organized Month

NAPO-San Diego could not wait for January. We were so anxious to collect shoes to support Soles4Souls we hosted a Shoe Drive at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center on October 15, 2011. Along with the support of the JCC, we had the support of Priority Moving and Storage. Priority Moving and Storage volunteered one of their employees for the day to help us box up the donated shoes and transport them to storage. This was a great team effort.

In case you could not attend this great event, here is what you missed by the numbers:

   - 1,980 pairs of shoes (that's almost 4,000 shoes!)
   - 95% of the people who dropped off shoes heard about the event from one of the three television
      appearances by our very own chapter president, Sue Crum
   - 55 (approximately) cars came brining shoes to donate
   - 12 NAPO-San Diego volunteers




Since the Soles4Souls shoe collection began in August, NAPO-San Diego chapter members have collected a grand total of 4,663.5 pairs, including shoes collected on October 15th at our big shoe drive. These shoes will be distributed to those in need all over the world. We are proud to be a part of this organize; helping Soles4Souls change lives one pair at a time.

Special thanks to Priority Moving & Storage (http://www.prioritymoving.com) for their support and partnership to make this Shoe Drive happen.
 





In addition to the Shoe Drive on October 15^th, professional organizers have set up collection boxes throughout the San Diego community to collect shoes. Look for boxes at your local coffee shop, salon, shoe store and more. NAPO-San Diego will continue to collect shoes throughout the community through January 9, 2012. It's always a good time to clean out your closet, your car trunk, your gym bag or any place where unworn shoes tend to hide! If you're overwhelmed and need guidance cleaning out and organizing your shoes a NAPO-San Diego Professional Organizer and Productivity Expert will be happy to help.
