What are some clever ways to get individuals to donate used shoes?

Q. I plan to start a resale shoe business that will donate its profit to an organization that will help sexually abused children. And wanted to know how I could go about getting people to donate new or their gently used shoes. I have a few ideas of my own. But I would like ideas that will get many people to respond and make them keep responding.

My ideas are:

Have the local high school student councils have a "shoe drive"
Put a full page ad in the local paper
Put a "Donate you old shoes box/stand" at local shoe stores
And Flyers and more Flyers

All suggestions will be appreciated. THANX!

A. Catchy Slogans! ~~~~Race Against Sexual Abuse~~~~

Get local companies (especially shoe companies) to possibly donate a couple of gift certificates and each person that donates shoes will enter their name in a drawing to get the certificate.

Leave money jars at local businesses and then you can use the money to purchase gently used shoes.

Have a shoe drive at local churches, that will bring in PLENTY of shoes.

I think this is a great cause and I wish you much success, Karma is a beautiful thing and by helping others, you are helping yourself!

:o)

If you are a woman-especially a pretty one I guess-have you ever excepted a gift only to soon discover that ?
Q. That it came with the demand that you perform sexually?

How did you handle the situation?

A. I would give the gift back and never talk to the guy again

Real woman deserve and will demand respect.

What is a book that deals with the main character being an isolated lonely adult?
Q. I'm not looking for a sexually lonely adult book, but rather an adult who has no contacts for various reasons. Thanks.
This could be a novel or a true story/memoir.

A. A 1972 movie you might enjoy is "Tomorrow" It is about a bachelor Mississippi farmer. Robert Duval really captures the personality. Victor Hugo's "Forgiveness and Redemption" is about a man on the run. He becomes wealthy but still has to keep a low profile because he is being looked for. Another wealthy loner is found in the novel "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater". Another movie you might enjoy is "Sling Blade" It is about a moderately retarded man who is gifted in making repairs of small engines. Also he has a no non-sense way of logical thinking. I guess its what some folks call "horse sense"

Cheers to Houanswer and to Advocate for two excellent choices.
