Fourth quarter is a great time for Shoe Angel events. I’ve been attending events non-stop since the beginning of October (today is Dec. 16, 2019).

Genesis Healthcare System plays a large part in keeping southeastern Ohio healthy, and has provided over a century of care to its inhabitants. Mainly based in Zanesville, Genesis started out as the result of the Bethesda Hospital (est. 1891) and Good Samaritan (est. 1895) joining forces in 1997.

KLOGS Footwear, which was founded in 1999, is a third generation, family-owned company.
