Shoes for Good Fundraiser
His Hands Free Clinic is collecting gently used shoes & sandals of all kinds and all sizes to break the Guinness Book of World Records for most pairs of shoes collected in a week. Their goal is 250,000 pairs over one week! Yep, you read that right!
Why is His Hands having this shoe collection?
- To help provide funds for people without insurance in our community
- To help cobblers in other countries to make a living
- To keep shoes out of the landfill
This is a fundraiser for His Hands. The clinic will receive $1,000 for every 2,500 pairs. Shoes collected will go to microenterprises across the world.
