Our friend Florence the Shoegoddess is not only into shoes, she's really into supporting A Place Called Home- a haven within South Central Los Angeles dedicated to providing at-risk youth with a secure, positive family environment. Florence has been working with APCH for years now and spends time weekly down in South Central with her "kids" as she calls them. One of the events by APCH is "The Cinderella Project" -- a Los Angeles-based organization dedicated to building the self-esteem of underprivileged teenage girls by providing them with beautiful formal wear for special occasions in their lives. We love supporting good causes and what could be better than building self worth in young women!?!? So we're asking anyone reading this to contact APCH and donate a gown, a pair of shoes, and/or a BAG!
