On Thursday, July 11th, PlanetShoes will be donating 160 pairs of shoes to the Women's Lunch Place, a daytime shelter for homeless or poor women in the Boston area. In partnership with Naot, a shoe company known for their sophisticated designs paired with popular foot-forming soles, the donation is valued at $24,000.

"Partnering with Naot to help the Women's Lunch Place by means of a shoe donation has been an Honor and a pleasure. The Women's Lunch Place provides a safe, comfortable daytime shelter, nutritious food, and services for women who are homeless or poor. PlanetShoes is proud to offer the service of free shoes to such a vibrant, dignified community of hard-working and kind women," stated Phil Meynard, President of PlanetShoes.

Located in Boston, Massachusetts, the Women's Lunch Place has established a community for women, treating each woman with dignity and respect in order to give her the support and courage to get back on her feet. As an important resource to the homeless community, the Women's Lunch Place is open six days a week and provides two meals a day along with other services.
