The festive spirit is alive and well at The Shoe Market in Greensboro, where the local business is hosting its annual “Step into Giving – Holiday Shoe Drive” to support the community through the Salvation Army. Now in its third year, this event invites locals to donate gently worn shoes or make monetary contributions right at the store. The Shoe Market, a family-owned business for over 30 years, offers a vast selection of over 65,000 shoes ranging from athletic to casual styles, catering to a wide range of sizes and needs.
This year, The Shoe Market has added an enticing element to the drive: for every $5 donated or pair of shoes contributed, donors receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win a $250 gift card to the store. This initiative not only fosters community support but also gives donors a chance to win a substantial prize that could enhance their holiday shopping experience. Perry Calhoun, president of The Shoe Market, emphasizes the importance of giving back to the community that has supported them for decades, highlighting the local impact of every donation made.
Located at 4624 W. Market St., The Shoe Market continues to be a cornerstone in Greensboro, providing specialized footwear solutions and expert advice for those with specific shoe needs such as plantar fasciitis or diabetic-related foot issues. With a commitment to comfort and customer service, they ensure that every purchase supports local initiatives like the Salvation Army, which provides essential services to those in need within the community.
