HOPE, Inc. is continuing its drive to collect used shoes through year-end 2016. The program helps the non-profit fund its no-cost programs that include assistance with: affordable housing, homelessness, anger management, domestic violence, prison reentry, and nutrition life skills.
Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes. All donated shoes are redistributed through the Funds20rg network of microenterprise partners in developing nations. Funds20rgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries in the Caribbean, Central America, and Africa.
Donated shoes can be brought to HOPE, Inc. offices at 2137 N. Battin, Wichita.
Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families at HOPE, Inc. – 2137 N. Battin – Wichita,
“We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets or their friends or relatives, they would like to donate to us and help those less fortunate become self-sufficient.
“It’s a win, win for everyone,” said Joseph Boniface, co-owner of HOPE, Inc.
