Ronco Gives is hosting a shoe drive to benefit Soles4Souls who turn new or gently used shoes into opportunities.

Ronco Gives, the philanthropic program at Ronco Construction, a leading Midwest construction company, is hosting a shoe drive to collect new or gently used shoes for Soles4Souls. 

“We were introduced to Soles4Souls a few years ago and are excited to kick off our first shoe drive to support their efforts,” explains Ashley Nelsen, 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 a semi-trailer 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. They put them to good use by providing relief, creating jobs and empowering people to break the cycle of poverty. The shoe drive runs now until November 30, 2023. Anyone interested in donating gently worn or new shoes can drop them off at a Ronco office. The offices are located at 1717 N 74th Street, Omaha, NE 68114 or 1816 Walnut Street, Kansas City, MO 64108. For more information on the shoe drive, email RoncoGives@ronco-construction.com or call 402-397-9109.
