Hopedale, IL –  This past March, the Hopedale Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine (HRSM) team collected shoes for the Soles4Souls shoe drive. Collection boxes were placed on the HMC campus, the Wellness Center, and at 5 local area high schools.

Over 1073 shoes were collected! These shoes were taken to a Soles4Souls distribution center near Chicago where they were donated, sorted, and distributed throughout the world. Shoes that cannot be reused will be recycled so that nothing goes to waste.

The HRSM team would like to thank all of the shoe donors and Signs of Success/U-Haul owner Chris Durham for a U-Haul moving truck to transport all the shoes to Chicago. This type of community support is greatly appreciated.
