BBF started its collaboration with SolesUnited™ in 2006 and has already distributed more than 675,000 pairs of shoes to more than 40 countries. When a devastating earthquake hit Peru in 2007, BBF worked with B'nai B'rith Peru, the Jewish Association of Peru, and Caritas to deliver 12,000 pairs of Crocs shoes, as well as medicine, to the victims. Also in 2007, BBF worked with Baptist World Aid to provide 10,000 pairs of Crocs shoes to the children of the Christian residential school Ricks Institute in Liberia. The shoes also benefited the more than 4,000 displaced persons currently living at the institute and to other churches and schools in the community. For only one dollar, BBF is able to ship one pair of new Crocs shoes to some one who needs them in a developing country . If you would like to donate, please contact us or simply click here. |
