Spring has finally arrived and to many, spring means spring cleaning.If you’re planning on cleaning out your closet and getting rid of a pile of shoes, you may want to drop them off at the Soles4Souls bin located at 230 West Colville Street. Those shoes you no longer want are desperately appreciated to fight global poverty.Soles4Souls Inc. has launched an ongoing recycling initiative in McMinnville to collect shoes to help the poor. The bin is monitored and emptied by Soles4Souls, an international anti-poverty organization that puts a value on the used shoes and clothing to create sustainable jobs and fund direct relief efforts, including the distribution of new shoes and clothing.Matthew Hunter is a Soles4Souls employee who empties the 52 bins throughout Middle Tennessee used by Soles4Souls.
