Drive Donations
Giving back and aiding our community is at the core of the DripVision mission. Project Make Waves made that possible through collaboration with organizations in our immediate community. Even though many of us have multiple shoes in our closet, there are many students in the area who are wearing shoes that do not fit or who cannot participate in athletics because they do not have the right footwear. With your help, we provided gently used shoes and purchase new shoes for students in our area who are in need.
