 ack the resources of having fresh drinking water. Shoeman Water Projects
  collects an estimated one million shoes each year taking up space in pe
 ople&rsquo\;s closets and turns them into water wells or well drilling e
 quipment.&rdquo\;\nShoeman Water Projects has distributed more than two 
 million pairs of shoes since 2008. Any shoes collected that cannot be us
 ed are recycled.\n&ldquo\;We need partners like Kingdom Seeds Outreach w
 ho have the same vision\,&rdquo\; said George Hutchings\, the Shoeman Wa
 ter Projects founder and CEO. &ldquo\;Donating shoes is one of the most 
 simple acts you can do\, and it provides footwear for the shoeless and w
 ater for the thirsty.&rdquo\;\nTo learn more\, locate a Wal-Mart near yo
