Help me turn compassion into action.

My name is Jeremy Macdonnell, and this will be my eighth year volunteering as a Sole Man for Wine Women & Shoes. I’m also a proud former board member of The Victim Center, where I served two terms supporting their mission. The Victim Center provides free-of-charge counseling and vital services to victims of violent and sexual crimes across Southwest Missouri. Their work is made possible through the support of generous people like you—and while the cause is serious, the event itself is full of energy, laughter, and maybe even a little friendly competition (especially for the title of King of Sole). I’m honored to play even a small part in helping sustain this life-changing mission.

I’m a talker—I’ve never met a stranger. Whether it’s swapping stories, sharing a laugh, or striking up a conversation, connecting with people is what I do best. That’s one of the reasons I love being part of Wine Women & Shoes: it brings together an incredible group of people who care about lifting others up. Supporting The Victim Center is serious work, but I believe we can still have fun while making a difference—and if you know me, you know I’ll do my best to make sure you leave with a smile.
