Area residents can "Share Their Soles" with the needy during 1998 by bringing used or new shoes and boots to the Hugar Foot Clinic located at 1614 N. Harlem Avenue, in Elmwood Park.

Residents are asked to bring practical shoes and boots- men's, women's, and children's, that are in good condition to Dr. Hugar's office. The shoes and boots will then be distributed by the Society of St. Vincent DePaul to homeless shelters, inner city families, and to the Society's stores which serve low income residents throughout the Chicagoland area.

"Many people do not realize that used footwear is a much needed donation, particularly during the winter months when a warm, dry pair of shoes is a necessity," said Dr. Hugar, local podiatrist and member of the Illinois Podiatric Medical Association.

The campaign, cosponsored by the Society of St. Vincent DePaul, Illinois Podiatric Medical Association (IPMA), and Scholl College of Podiatric medicine, will continue throughout the year.
