May 14 Guarantee Shoe Center is back at it again.
In its 68th year in business, the Bakersfield staple is putting on its 29th Annual Shoes For Our Homeless Shoe Drive.
On Friday, Guarantee Shoe held a news conference at its downtown establishment on 21st Street and Chester Avenue to kick off the two-week drive. The goal is to collect 3,000 pairs of shoes, which will be supplied to the Bakersfield Homeless Center.
Third-generation store president Rosco Rolnick said when the shoe drive first began, the store was thrilled to get a couple of hundred pairs from the effort. Now, after close to 30 years of putting it on, over 85,000 and counting have been donated.
