From major celebrities to average joes, it seems like just about everyone has pitched in to help Haiti recover from the 7.0-magnitude earthquake. Magnum Boots is lending a helping hand, too.
The manufacturer donated 900 pairs of boots and shoes to Soles4Souls, an organization that is distributing footwear to earthquake victims, helping to fulfill a basic safety need.
“Our hearts go out to our Haitian neighbors as we struggle to comprehend the magnitude of this disaster, and we cannot forget how important basic necessities — such as shoes — will be in the ongoing rescue and rebuilding efforts,” said Bill Berta, chief executive of Magnum Boots USA, in a prepared statement.
“We deeply appreciate the work of Soles4Souls and encourage everyone to look into their own closets in support of this tragedy.”
Founded in 2005, the Nashville-based charity has given away more than 5.5 million pairs of shoes across 125 countries. During the Katrina aftermath, the organization was able to send more than 1 million pairs to those in need.
The “Hope for Hati” telethon, a huge televised charity event, was another way people helped out. Check out Jennifer Hudson’s moving performance of The Beatle’s classic “Let It Be” from the show.
