“We launched our shoe drive on Giving Tuesday to call attention to the importance of collective acts of kindness,” said LaQuenta Jacobs, XPO”™s chief diversity officer and Soles4Souls board member, said, “Soles4Souls has set a goal of providing shoes to a million and a half homeless children in the United States. Our employees want to make their impact as large as possible.”
