CRESTVIEW — ServantCARE, a non-profit, 501c3 ministry that supports micro-enterprises in developing nations, is collecting shoes to raise funds.

Funds2Orgs helps impoverished people start, maintain and grow businesses in countries such as Haiti, Honduras and other nations in Central America and Africa.

Proceeds from the Crestview shoe drive are used to feed, clothe and house developing nations’ families.

 "We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like donate to us and help those less fortunate become self-sufficient. It’s a win-win for everyone,” a Funds2org spokesperson said. 

The local drive runs through March. Contact Larry Tuggle, 830-4224, for more information.
