The Loyalty opened a few months before the start of the pandemic, but Sears said working with PUMA has enabled its company to help some of the less fortunate in times of need.

A similar donation was made two weeks ago to The Bridge.

This organization had a family with a van full of new Sketchers children’s shoes at their front door.

The donation arrived just as the organization was running low on its inventory of children’s shoes.

The director of operations noted that any donation is appreciated, but giving parents and guardians the ability to get new shoes right out of the box is special.
