Soles4Souls and Village Northwest Unlimited
Do you want to help others? RiseFest is partnering with Village Northwest Unlimited and Soles4Souls to provide jobs for people with disabilities and give footwear to those in need across the world.
Bring your old SHOES, SANDALS, BOOTS in pairs or singles to RiseFest, June 17 and 18 and chuck them in the Demco wagon.
We want RiseFest to be More than Music. Together we can make a difference. See you at RiseFest!
