Homes Unlimited, Inc. Hosts Successful Summer Soles4Souls Donation Drive
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.”
