Thiel College’s WING Organization Holding Shoe Drive
For immediate release March 28, 2006

GREENVILLE, PA – Members of Thiel College’s Women Inspiring the Next Generation (WING) will hold their second annual shoe drive to benefit AWARE, an advocacy group for victims of domestic violence, through mid-April.

Used and new shoes in all sizes will be accepted, but there is a greater need for men’s and children’s shoes.

Shoes may be dropped off at the office of Heather Achenbach, WING’s advisor. Her office is located across from the bookstore in the Howard Miller Student Center at Thiel College. The shoe drive will take place now until April 14. The collected shoes will be distributed to various shelters throughout Mercer County.

WING, formerly the Center for Women’s Leadership, provides participants with leadership education, community outreach opportunities and career development programs.

For more information regarding the group’s shoe drive, call Heather Achenbach at 724-589-2220 or Kelly Parsell at 724-589-2740.
