The shoe collection drive ran through late March. Soles4Souls has donated more than 8 million pairs of shoes worldwide, and most recently with the help of companies like Covario committed more than 1.3 million pairs to the victims of the Haitian earthquake. "As the leader of a relatively small but fast-growing company, I'm heartened that so many of my fellow employees stepped up to help the people of Haiti through this partnership with Soles4Souls," said Covario CEO Russ Mann. "Covarians made a real difference, donating an average of over nine pairs of shoes per person in just one month. Our employees recognized how simple it was to give something up they could live without, rallying around this incredible cause that continues to help so many."
