Soles4Souls Shoe Charity: Barefoot Week

Please join Soles4Souls as they go barefoot for Barefoot Week, June 1-7.

During barefoot week, the Soles4Souls team will go barefoot for hours at a time to tangibly remind everyone of the importance of safe, sturdy shoes.

Will you join Soles4Souls during Barefoot Week?

Soles4Souls is collecting monetary donations and new or gently worn shoes. For every $1 you donate, Soles4Souls can provide an additional pair of shoes to someone in need. The money also helps the organization process and distribute donated shoes.
Soles4Souls would also like to collect 500,000 pairs of new or gently worn shoes in time for Barefoot Week.

Margaret's Cleaners is proud to be a drop-off location! You can drop off new or gently used shoes at any of our Margaret's stores.

Testimonial and our CleanByMail service

Check out this wonderful testimonial we received from a long-time client:

"I received your letter inquiring why I had not been in to Margaret's lately.

I have relocated out of the area to Kansas City, MO. I may need to use your service remotely; I understand you can mail cleaned items to customers out-of-state?

Margaret's is, without a doubt, the best cleaner I have ever used. 99% of all my clothes are Gorigio Armari and you have kept them in great shape."

-Robert E.

CleanByMail

Our CleanByMail service is perfect for customers like Robert!  

Like in any successful long-distance relationship, Margaret’s CleanByMail service takes the time to make sure your garments, ties, and bags receive the proper TLC—even when they’re far from home.

Why CleanByMail?

CleanByMail is like having a Margaret's facility at your doorstep. The same professionals who work on local drop-offs also clean the CleanByMail items. You simply send us your items, we care for them, and then we package them according to Margaret's standards and ship them back to you.
