Nielsen Kicks Off Shoe Drive

   Nielsen is kicking off the "Soles 4 Souls" drive during February. Through this shoe drive, which is open to employees and the community, people will have the chance to generously donate any new or used shoes to needy people around the world. Shoes may be dropped off at the Nielsen office, 3588 Early Road, Harrisonburg.
   Based our of Nashville, Tenn, Soles 4 Souls is a recognized charity formed by Wayne Elsey in late 2006. With the mission statement, "to impact as many lives as possible with the gift of shoes," Soles 4 Souls aids in the distribution of new and used footwear across the globe. Originally operating as katrinashoes.org, their organized relief efforts for the Asian Tsunami and Hurricanes Katrina and Rita brought more than 900,000 donated shoes to those affected by these disasters. Since then, they have become formally recognized, sharing shoes to those in need in more than 40 countries and five continents.
