This holiday season we supported Shoelady.org  (with the help of Rebekah Brewster and Kiwanis Club of Williamsburg) in providing shoes for children in need all over Hampton Roads.

The Shoe Lady Organization started in 2013 when a young boy went to the home of Melissa and Bill Hoffman to play with their son. He arrived in the pouring, freezing rain on a November afternoon barefoot carrying his shoes. When asked why he wasn’t wearing them he said that they were his grandmother’s and they didn’t fit. At that point Melissa started the non profit to find shoes for all children in need. In 2016 Melissa passed away and Bill valiantly picked up her torch. You can help by donating at www.shoelady.org.

Our Liz Moore Richmond office is teaming up with Bridging RVA to make a difference in the lives of kids!  We are collecting new twin sized sheets and blankets to donate to families in need. Donations can be dropped off before Oct 20th at our office, 1020 Old Bon Air Road in Richmond.
