Coldwell Banker Realtor Jennifer Hupke Helps Soles4Souls Fight Poverty

Coldwell Banker Realtor Jennifer Hupke, a founder of the Hupke Team, is hosting a back-to-school donation drive for Soles4Souls from September 10-28. She is hosting the fundraiser at her son’s school, Meadowbrook Elementary, 3130 Rolling Ridge Drive, in Waukesha.  Jennifer, along with Jessica Barry, the school’s principal, and Tracie Kitchener, the PTA President, has organized this donation drive and are hoping for a big turnout.

“I strongly encourage everyone in the community to drop off a pair of shoes to help someone in need, and to make this drive even bigger,” said Jennifer. “I recently acquired a home in which they left over 400 shoes. I can’t wait to go through all of them and pull out the gently worn and new shoes for Soles4Souls. I am hoping to have over 200 shoes to kick off this drive.”

Soles4Souls is a nonprofit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing. Soles4Souls aims to eradicate extreme poverty by 2050. Children every day are prevented from attending school and adults are unable to work as walking becomes unbearable, which perpetuates the cycle of poverty. To date, Soles4Souls has collected and distributed more than 30 million pairs of shoes to those in need in 127 countries around the world and all 50 states in the U.S.

“Businesses and individuals that host donation drives for Soles4Souls help us fulfill our mission by providing short-term relief and long-term solutions to global poverty,” said Buddy Teaster, Soles4Souls President, and CEO. “Every single one of those pairs of shoes collected by our partners makes a difference in someone’s life.”
