His Thousand Hills Ministry is conducting a shoe drive on October 1st til January 15th 2017 to raise funds that will be used to replace the roof on the gym. The youth camp organization will earn funds based on the total weight of the shoes collected as Funds2Orgs will purchase all of the donated footwear. Those dollars will benefit His Thousand Hills Ministry. Anyone can help by donating gently worn, used or new shoes at His Thousand Hills Ministry main office, or call 570-724-2366 for drop off locations. Shoe donations will also support micro-enterprises in developing nations and reduce what goes into landfills. More information about the Shoe Drive is available online at: HTH Shoe Drive
All donated shoes will then be redistributed throughout the Funds2Orgs network of micro-enterprise partners in developing nations. Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families. a Funds2Orgs representative had this to say, “One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send to her son to law school.”
“We are excited about our shoe drive,” said Executive Director, Todd Moss. “We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate and help those less fortunate become self-sufficient. Many people end up throwing the old shoes away anyhow. By donating them to the HTH Shoe Drive, the shoes will be used by those that are less fortunate and the proceeds will help put a new roof on the gym… It’s a win-win for everyone,” added Moss. By donating gently worn, used and new shoes to the HTH Shoe Drive the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives and His Thousand Hills will be able to raise money needed to replace the roof on their gym. #hthshoes
