Center City Workers Wear Sneakers to Help Homeless

In Center City, many people wore sneakers to the office Friday. They dressed down to help the homeless.
Members of the non-profit "back on my feet" set up a table and solicited workers in the shadows of office towers at 20th and Market. The annual fundraiser encourages contributors to donate at least $5 and wear sneakers to work to symbolically support the program that encourages those living in homeless shelters to take part in a three-day a week running program. Back on my feet's Maureen O'Toole says the carrot for those who participate is a grant that helps them get back on their feet.
