ORLANDO --
A small Central Florida charity is distancing itself from George and Cindy Anthony.
The charity got a lot of negative attention after the Anthonys announced they would be donating Caylee's shoes to the charity's shoe drive.
In a matter of just a few minutes George and Cindy Anthony drove up to a pharmacy off Narcoosee Road in Orlando and dropped off shoes to Operation Barefoot.
It's an annual shoe drive put on by the Children of Love Foundation.
Cindy Anthony heard about the event and told reporters she would be attending it and donating some of her granddaughter Caylee's shoes.
The little girl was murdered back in 2008.
Cindy's Anthony's announcement turned into a backlash against the charity from some who resent the family.
Maureen Rhodehamel thinks it's ridiculous that the charity started receiving such hateful comments.
"It's not all about who they are or what they are dealing with on their own level. They're giving away shoes. They're helping another organization to help kids who can't get these things. So I think it's perfect. Who cares?" said Rhodehamel.
News 13 was told the Anthonys donated about a half dozen shoes to the charity, which appeared to be new, along with some socks.
Those involved with the charity said they've been holding this shoe drive for years to help orphans in Honduras.
The Anthonys did not stop to speak to reporters before driving off.
The Children of Love Foundation has been around for 20 years.
They plan to take all the shoes donated and bring them to orphans in Honduras around Thanksgiving. But, this is is the first year they've had so much attention.
"If this makes more people come and drop off shoes that's a wonderful thing, but we have no association with the Anthonys," said Marc Crane with the Children of Love Foundation.
"I don't think they would have got as much attention due to the Anthonys coming and delivering these shoes. So I think it's good," Rhodehamel said.
