Now that 2008 has come to a close and we are well into 2009, we are still in much prayer about the incredible amount of help needed in the daily activities of Shoes2Share. With that in mind, we'd like to give you a quick list of benefactors that received shoes in just the last few months.
Most recently, well over 100 pairs of women & children's shoes were delivered to Hope House in Wilmington, DE just two days before Christmas. These shoes were individully wrapped by volunteers at Liberty Baptist Church and adorned with a brand new Teddy Bear (compliments of Family Christian Stores located in Glascow, DE.)
In late November, a little over 100 pairs of childrens sneakers were shipped to Texas for children in great need through a Head Start Program. Danny, a registered nurse, oversaw the project, and organized a very nice event for the kids and their families.
St. Lucia Diabetic Association received 1,200 pairs of brand new orthopeodic comfort shoes before the holidays also. This Caribbean island was so very appreciative to receive the gift of new shoes for their many patients in need! Our dear friend Jacinta made all the arrangements for shipping and even got monetary donations to help fund this shipment!
Everyone at Shoes2Share greatly appreciates your patience as we grow and is immensely appreciative of all the volunteers who have come on board to help collect, process & distribute shoes for all those in need.
Stay tuned for more updates and pictures to be posted!
