Some of you may have heard of TOMS shoes  as this company is gaining a lot of attention through the media.  I own a pair of TOMS shoes and I have been stopped by a few parents here at Main Street who recognized them. I thought I would post on here to tell you more about them and the comany’s mission.

Entrepreneur Blake Mycoskie travels to Argentina in 2006, there he met some children and noticed they had no shoes. He wanted to help.  It is on that premise he founded a company which vows to give a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair that is sold….  one for one.   His company has grown and plans to give more than 300,000 shoes to children in need around the world in 2009.

While you are there you could order a pair ! You could teach your children about the children in countries who do not have shoes or other basic needs.
