Pangea Cares Teams Up for Shoe Drive in Brighton Park

Expanding a partnership started in 2017, Chicago-based Pangea Properties worked with Operation Warm and SGA Youth & Family Services last month for a Summer Kicks shoe drive. Through its nonprofit 501(c)3 community service arm, Pangea Cares, Pangea helped distribute new shoes in the South Side’s Brighton Park neighborhood. 

In the past, Pangea has participated in Operation Warm’s annual winter coat drive, which has provided winter coats to children in public housing for over 22 years. Last year, Operation Warm created Warm Soles to provide new shoes as well. 

“Thanks to great corporate partners like Pangea, Operation Warm has been able to expand its impact in the Chicago region and across North America,” said Rich Lalley, partnership director with Operation Warm. “The pandemic increased greatly the number of in-need families, and we are so grateful that Pangea stepped up to bring Summer Kicks to Chicago’s South Side.”
