Having the right footwear in Florida is a big part of living comfortably, especially for the homeless in the Summer. Brigands Militia has stepped up to do their part to try to help. The company has recently announced a crowdfunding campaign to bring their “Sandals for the Homeless” campaign to life and the local community couldn't be more excited.
Deerfield Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/16/2014 -- How people treat the least fortunate of society says a great deal about their character. The same analogy certainly applies to businesses, both for better and for worse. Florida based Brigands Militia, creators of innovative sandals that have been a hot topic of conversation in fashion circles, are certainly on the plus side of this equation. Recently, the company announced they have launched a crowdfunding campaign to fund their "Sandals for the Homeless" project. The project will not only provide a pair of sandals for a homeless person for every pair sold, but will also donate much needed funds to the Homeless Voice, a Florida institution that makes lives more liveable for the Florida homeless each and everyday.
"One 4 one and sandals for all is our philosophy," commented a spokesperson from Brigands Militia about Sandals for the Homeless. "We saw a great opportunity to combine two of our passions – sandals and helping people who really need it most. We're hoping that we can encourage other people to become engaged and help a good cause, one pair of sandals at a time!"
Brigands Militia are a Deerfield Beach, Florida company that have been steadily building a name for themselves as producers of hip, cruelty free, vegan sandals. The company sincerely hopes they can get at least 500 pairs of their durable hybrid sandals onto the feet of the homeless. The combination of being open and cool and tough enough to be long lasting are sure to make them as appreciated by the homeless as they have been by nearly everyone else who has the chance to wear them.
Donors interested in "BOGO" - "Buy One Get One Donated" can jump in with just a $5 donation for a limited time. Larger donations will see more money going towards helping Homeless Voice, who help house homeless people, feed them and give them work in Florida, all without receiving any government aid at all. The larger the donation the more people will be positively impacted, and the greater a change will be made.
The reaction to the news about the "Sandals for the Homeless" crowdfunding project has been incredibly passionate.
Elaine M., a local community activist, remarked, "We need more small businesses like Brigands Militia. Homelessness is an epidemic here and it's clear that help is few and far between. Let's band together and help get sandals for the homeless, while we make sure the Homeless Voice keeps going strong. This crowdfunding campaign is just that important!"
The campaign has set a goal of $16,700 to fund the first run of sandals production with additional possibilities to help the community set if the goal is exceeded.
