Ronco Construction’s employee-sponsored philanthropic program Ronco Gives is hosting a shoe drive to benefit Soles4Souls who turn new or gently used shoes into opportunities.
Ronco Gives, the employee-sponsored philanthropic program at Ronco Construction, a leading Midwest construction company, is hosting a shoe drive now through November 30, 2023, to collect new or gently used shoes for Soles4Souls.
“Ronco was introduced to Soles4Souls a few years ago and we’re excited to kick off our first shoe drive to support their efforts,” explains Ashley Nelsen, Ronco Construction’s accounting and strategic initiatives manager and the Ronco Gives committee chair. “In 2021, Ronco Gives hosted a food drive and with the support of local businesses and our employees, we filled one of our semi-trailers with food. We’re hoping we can do the same with shoes.”
Soles4Souls turns the donated shoes into opportunities, by keeping them from going to waste and putting them to good use – providing relief, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty. The shoe drive runs now through November 30, 2023. Anyone interested in donating gently worn or new shoes can drop them off at a Ronco office in Omaha or Kansas City Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.: 1717 N 74th Street, Omaha, NE 68114 or 1816 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO 64108.
