Washington Street, Van Wert, Ohio recently held a shoe collection drive in collaboration with Funds2Orgs network; funds earned from the fundraiser will help to cover the cost of uninsured clients of Family Health Care that pay a minimum fee for their office visits.<\/p>\n<p>The support of several area schools, churches, and organizations made the shoe drive a huge success! The original goal of 2500 pairs of shoes was surpassed by the final collection of 3,081 pairs, totaling 3,381 pounds of shoes.<\/p>\n<p>Staff at Family Health Care would like to recognize these area organizations for their outstanding participation in the drive (and other participating organizations that wished to go unnamed):<\/p>\n<p>Van Wert Elementary, Crestview, Lincolnview, Calvary Evangelical Church, and the Hospital Thrift Shop, Van Wert, OH; Parkway Local Schools, St. Teresa\u2019s Catholic Church, Rockford United Methodist Church, Rockford, OH; Immaculate Conception School, Celina, OH; First United Methodist Church and the Hope Chest, Decatur, IN.<\/p>\n<p>The shoe collection drive was a win-win for everyone. Local residents downsized extra shoes from their closets, and the donations were given a second chance by helping the less fortunate living in developing nations to become self-sufficient through the sale of those shoes. Proceeds from the shoe sales are used to feed, clothe and house their families.<\/p>\n<p>Local organizations interested in learning more about conducting a shoe drive of their own can visit Funds2orgs.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Family Health Care, a non-profit company located at 1052 S.
