It’s always nice to see companies lending a hand to the less fortunate especially during these extra tough economic times which have led to the rise of homeless people in L.A.  Today, etnies owner, Pierre Andre and his etnies crew teamed up with the Los Angeles Mission to break through some of the doom and gloom, and provided more than 2,000 Skid Row residents with a hot meal and a brand new pair of etnies shoes.  Over the last decade, etnies has flowed more than 25,000 pairs of shoes to homeless people living in Los Angeles!

“In these tough economic times, there is more reason than ever to help those in need and give back to the causes that touch your heart – for me this is the Los Angeles Mission,” said etnies owner Pierre Andre Senizergues.  “For over 10 years my team and I have donated thousands of shoes to the homeless on Skid Row and this year will be no different.  Not only because the need will be greater, but because it is this small contribution that can make a difference in someone’s life.”
