Shoe collection triples original goal

The Sweet Soles for Love campaign brought in more than 1,500 pairs of new shoes for foster children. This is the third year Sibcy Cline and Phillippi-Whitney Communications have partnered to provide items for foster children.

The initial goal was just 500 pairs, said Julie Whitney of Phillippi-Whitney Communications. The shoes were given to Hamilton County Job & Family Services, which helped with distribution to partnering organizations.
