Allied Commercial Real Estate Delivers 1,886 Pairs of Donated Shoes to Soles4Souls to Help Fight Poverty

RIVERSIDE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 31, 2020 / Between December 2, 2019 and January 10, 2020, Tony Guglielmo, the broker and owner of Allied Commercial Real Estate, hosted a donation drive for new and gently worn shoes to support Soles4Souls and their efforts in fighting poverty. The donation drive successfully collected 1,886 pairs of shoes, weighing a total of 2,357 pounds, that were delivered by a caravan of trucks to the Soles4Souls warehouse in Riverside, CA, by Guglielmo and others from his office.

"It was a team effort here at Allied," praised Guglielmo, CCIM, broker/owner of Allied Commercial Real Estate. "We had amazing support from business partners, friends, family and clients that really believed in the cause of providing shoes for those experiencing poverty. We had a number of great donations, but there is one in particular that deserves recognition, 100 bags of shoes donated by Patty and Ken at the Kiwanis Club in Pomona, CA."

Soles4Souls is a nonprofit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing. Every day children are prevented from attending school and adults are unable to work as walking without shoes becomes unbearable, which perpetuates the cycle of poverty. To date, Soles4Souls has collected and distributed more than 30 million pairs of shoes to those in need in 127 countries around the world and all 50 states in the U.S.

"Businesses and individuals that host donation drives for Soles4Souls help us fulfill our mission by providing short-term and long-term solutions to global poverty," said Buddy Teaster, Soles4Souls CEO. "Every single one of those pairs of shoes collected by partners – like Allied Commercial Real Estate – makes a difference in someone's life."
