Anchorage, AK (PRWEB) October 02, 2017
Viki Kaas, broker/owner of Homes Unlimited, Inc., recently hosted a summer shoe donation drive for Soles4Souls, a nonprofit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing. The result of Homes Unlimited’s drive was eight boxes of shoes that will help many people in need.
“It was fun touching base with friends, family, and clients during this drive,” said Kaas, who was named Anchorage Realtor of the Year in 2007. “They cleaned out their closets so others could benefit from their generosity, as every single pair of shoes collected makes a difference in someone’s life.”
Soles4Souls aims is to eradicate extreme poverty by 2050. To date, Soles4Souls has collected and distributed more than 30 million pairs of shoes to those in need in 127 countries around the world and all 50 states in the U.S. “Businesses and individuals that host donation drives for Soles4Souls help us fulfill our mission by providing short-term relief and long-term solutions to global poverty,” said Buddy Teaster, Soles4Souls President and CEO.
