Don’t let the footwear on display in the storefront fool you – Jack Collins shoe store is not reopening. <\/p>\n

The display is actually an art project put together by an Eastern Mennonite University class. But it’s an art project with a good cause behind it. <\/p>\n

Cyndi Gusler, EMU professor and chairwoman of the university’s Visual and Communication Arts<\/a> Department<\/div>\n

The project will be unveiled today as part of Harrisonburg’s Museum and Gallery Walk from 5 to 7 p.m., says Cyndi Gusler<\/a>, EMU professor and chairwoman of the university’s Visual and Communication Arts<\/a> Department. <\/p>\n

The display also is part of a fundraiser for widows in Kenya, Gusler said. <\/p>\n

Shoes are being collected at EMU, area churches and 10,000 Villages in Dayton for Well of Hope, a nongovernmental agency based in Kenya that aims to help widows and orphans. <\/p>\n

The shoes will be sold in Kenya, and proceeds will then be used to buy land for widows, according to Well of Hope. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
