Most of you are probably familiar with the story of Molly Hightower, the Port Orchard native and Bellarmine alum who worked as a volunteer at a Port-au-Prince orphanage and hospital, and who was killed in the January 12 earthquake in Haiti.
Her father, Mike, is General Manager of a Tacoma business - Service Steel Aerospace Corp. - and, in collaboration with his employer and inspired by a favorite cause of Molly's, he has established a shoe drive for the millions of refugees and displaced in Haiti.
For the next two weeks our drivers will be picking up any gently used tennis shoes for donation to the shoe drive.
Important details: Be sure to tie or bind the shoes together and to place them inside or on top of your Terra box. We do not want to inadvertently take shoes off the front porch. We will only take shoes that are either in or on top of the Terra boxes.
Thank you in advance for your generosity. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of the families and individuals affected by the tragedy, those working in the relief efforts and those committed, like Molly, to progress and development in the nation of Haiti.
