Soles4Souls Helps Consumers Recycle Shoes
Donating your old shoes may seem gross, but Soles4Souls gives consumers a non-smelly option.
This is about more than recycling - it is also about safety and health. When someone in a developing country doesn’t have shoes, they could step step on something that causes infection, and even death. According to AboutMyPlanet,
There are plenty of people in Canada and the United States who need shoes, and they provide those shoes. In fact, after the large disasters of Hurricane Katrina, Hurricane Rita and the Asian Tsunami, Soles4Souls donated over one million pairs of shoes.
Of course, not every pair of old shoes qualifies! Kids grow out of shoes really quickly, though, and almost everyone has a pair of shoes in their closet that they just don’t like or wear often. Consider recycling them with Soles4Souls.
