XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading provider of freight
transportation services, today announced the upcoming launch of its
second annual shoe drive to benefit the non-profit organization
Soles4Souls. The mission of Soles4Souls is to break the cycle of
poverty for children and adults in need.
XPO’s shoe collection kicks off on Giving Tuesday, November 30,
and will continue through December. Employees at over 270 XPO sites
in North America will collect new or lightly used shoes, which XPO
will then ship to Soles4Souls for sorting and distribution. The
company has also pledged a cash donation to Soles4Souls for each
pair of shoes collected.
LaQuenta Jacobs, XPO’s chief diversity officer and Soles4Souls
board member, said, “The message of Giving Tuesday is that simple
acts of generosity can make a lasting impact — this is at the heart
of Soles4Souls as well. Our employees are excited to join forces in
support of this extraordinary organization for a second year.”
