Save Your Sole consignment boutique and other Belltown/Midtown businesses have joined together in Belltown Unites, a partnership dedicated to helping keep some of the 2,500 homeless people sleeping on the streets of Seattle warm this winter. Each business has created a special promotion to donate warm wool blankets to the homeless community with a goal of distributing 3,200 blankets before May 1.

Belltown Unites has partnered with The Federal Army Navy Surplus to procure the blankets, and Seattle’s Union Gospel Mission will distribute them to those in need.

Sell your Sole has two ways to donate blankets: bring in five or more items for consignment or make a purchase of $150.00 or more. Other participating businesses include Milagros SalonSpa, The Powder Room, Gary Manuel Salon and Swink Style Bar and each have their own unique promotion for the campaign.
