Soles4Souls is asking footwear and apparel donations to be arranged through Pattie Graben, vice president of Corporate Development: Phone: 615-541-7007 | Email: pattieg@soles4souls.org The agency has also set up a fund to help ship product to affected areas. Donations can be made here.
As the peak of hurricane season approaches, the organization is now working to collect, prepare and distribute shoes and clothing to victims of not only Hurricane Florence, but other potentially devastating storms as well. When it comes to helping communities rebuild their lives after a natural disaster, it is crucial to prepare now for future efforts.
