About this organization
After hearing the news of Haitis earthquake in 2010, Jim Belshaw, owner of Roys shoe repair, brain stormed how he could best help Haitis victims. Being a cobbler, he realized that they would be in great need of footwear to prevent further injury, infection, and sickness from walking through the devastation.
He and a few other members of the Sunrise Rotary Club of Kelowna got together and started a shoe drive. Within days, they had so many shoes, they had to store them in a tractor-trailer. And that was just a collection from people in Kelowna!
Having received so many graciously donated shoes, Jim was able to send much needed shoes to Haiti. He also realized through this venture that there was a sizable need for shoes in our own community. With the amount of footwear collected, he was able to distribute to those in need in Kelowna as well as Haiti.
