As any Carrie-Bradshaw-in-the-City can tell you, pumps are precious. It’s not just that ladies do love their shoes, but they are also, well, quite… necessary. And a shocking number of individuals in the city and around the globe can’t afford even the most basic pair.
One of DC’s ladies groups decided to put their best foot forward – literally – and give of their own closet castaways to help the cause.
At the Audrey Bouviers Happy Hour at Sette Bello Monday night, two organizations stood to benefit from the kind soles.
Haile Gebregziabher was on hand from The Shepherds table to accept donations of gently worn footwear to supply the Clothes Closet of its Silver Spring shelter. He left with dozens of career, casual and kiddie kicks.
Meanwhile, Audrey Bouvier member Kady Hillman may not be lugging a suitcase full of stilettos from DC with her to Honduras, but every $5 donation she secures gives a substantial shoe to a South American native in need.
Wanna walk a mile in their shoes? Here are two ways you can help give footwear shortage the boot:
