Friends
and relatives. We are looking to find people to help us with a project!
No money involved, just a little time (and a little rubber and
shoelaces.) We are running two shoe drop off points for Project Sole
here in New Mexico. But a couple of people have asked us if they could
do a smaller collection where they live and have it still be credited to
us. The answer is yes! Project Sole collects
used shoes in GOOD condition and sends them on to third world countries
where it may well be the first pair of shoes a resident there has ever
owned! Project Sole returns adoption grant funds to us as a result of
the shoes we collect. There's literally NO ONE who doesn't win in this
scenario. Thousands of pounds of used sneakers are dropped in landfills
every year! You can help reduce waste, help get shoes for those who
desperately need them, and help us pay for our adoption! This is a
perfect opportunity for boys looking to get their Eagle Scout and for
Personal Progress projects! Comment below if you are interested in
setting up a small donation bin or neighborhood donation drive for
gently used shoes! We will be so appreciative for even the smallest box
of shoes, and so will the person who avoids getting one of the two
thousand parasites and diseases found in the soil in many third world
countries!
No worries about the cost of sending them, either. Project Sole will forward you prepaid boxes if you collect shoes. Thanks!

So how do I get a box? Was helping another family with shoes and they don't want anymore. I have several garbage bags full of shoes to donate. julievilardo @ gmail
