Soleful Caring will be having it`s fourth campaign to collect shoes for the homeless, starting in November 2016. We will be partnering again with the National Recycling Operations, a division of the Salvation Army, after the success of last year`s collaboration. Exact dates and locations of the events surrounding the national campaign will be released over the next few weeks. I met with Derek Vye, Distribution Manager/Atlantic for the NRO, last month at his office in Dieppe, New Brunswick, to discuss this fall's strategy. While visiting Derek, I was given a tour of the facilities where the collection, sorting and distribution of items is conducted. Our hope is that the shoes we collect will be delivered to shelters and missions and others by Christmas.
