Jamie and Alex, owners of the UPS stores in Auburn, Worcester and Holden, had an amazing turn out today! Trash Wizard Junk Removal was on site, along with Jackie Brush of 96.1 WSRS and over 20 volunteers. So far, the grand total of shoes collected for ‘Soles4Souls’ has exceeded 30,000 pair!
Trash Wizard was a proud and honored sponsor, transporting nearly 4,000 pairs of shoes from the Auburn store to the Worcester store on Park Ave. Both friends and family of Jamie and Alex were at both stores working diligently under the sweltering sun.
Alex coordinated the event, setting up an assembly line of sorts: counting, boxing, taping, marking and loading boxes of shoes into the bed of Trash Wizard’s truck. The event went off without a hitch and at noon time cold sodas and pizza were presented to the volunteers on behalf of Jamie and Alex for their continued support.
The goal of 100,000 shoes collected has reached the 1/3 mark! Trash Wizard will keep readers updated on Jamie and Alex’s progress. The deadline is March of 2010, so clean out your closets and back halls and help support an amazing cause!
