We hope that you and many other willing hands are able to join in on this project to help others partake in the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ this holiday season.
Since Ellen was out-of-town during this event, she asked if I could I post a short recap… more than two months later. Memory, don’t fail me now.
One Body DFW, along with other volunteer groups, had the opportunity to help process shoes at the Shoes for Orphan Souls processing warehouse. When the warehouse receives donations, either directly or through shoe drives, events, etc., they are pretty much put into large, unorganized boxes. Our job in processing the shoes was to:
Shoe processing is an important step in the overall process of getting donated shoes onto the feet of those who desperately need them, and Buckner relies on volunteers year-round to help out with the processing.
Despite the mountain of unorganized footwear that stood in front of us, I’m happy to say that our group buckled down and started processing shoes like champs. The Buckner coordinator even remarked that this was the most shoes he had seen processed in a long time. Hooray for teamwork!
Needless to say, the Shoes for Orphan Souls event was a positive experience for all involved, and we look forward to partnering with Buckner again to help out this wonderful cause.
