Payless Shoesource supports Community Action Agency

Media Edward T. Coleman, Chief Executive Officer of Community Action Agency of Delaware County, Inc. (CAADC), is pleased to announce that CAADC has been selected as an official partner of Payless Gives, an annual giving program from Payless ShoeSource.  CAADC is among 800 charitable agencies representing all 50 states in the United States, across Canada and Puerto Rico and in 10 Latin American countries to be part of the program.  CAADC will be distributing the coupons for shoes to children in its three family shelters during this holiday season.         
“In its third year, the goal of the Payless Gives Shoes 4 Kids program remains the same -- to provide footwear, a basic necessity, to children who might otherwise go without,” said LuAnn Via, CEO of Payless. “The success of the program over the past two years, and the number of children and families we have been able to assist, continues to drive our efforts. Unemployment is still very high, affecting many families that struggle to provide their children with basic essentials. This is especially challenging during the holidays, and with Community Action Agency’s help, we hope to make a bigger impact than ever this year.”
If you are interested in helping CAADC to support homeless children during the holiday season please contact Danita Miller at (610) 874-8451.
