EVENT DETAILS
Sneaker and Book Drive by & Drop Off
LOCAL COVID19 PROTOCOLS WILL BE FOLLOWED. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN MASK & HELP US MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING.
Bring your GENTLY USED SNEAKERS & BOOKS to our Drive by & Drop off collection site at Marietta High School Parking Lot on October 17, 2020 from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm.
All items collected will immediately be given directly to local nonprofits & charities in need.
- Sneaker donations will be donated to a local nonprofit called Eco-Sneakers and LifeSAFE Resources.
- Book donations will be donated to LiveSAFE Resources, Cobb Project LIT and Books for Africa.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO GIVE YOUR GENTLY USED SNEAKERS & BOOKS TO SOMEONE WHO CAN USE THEM - NOT THE LANDFILL!
HELP US CREATE SMILES & COMFORT FOR OTHERS.
WHY? From the Heart...
- This simple act of giving your gently used shoes to be re-used can give warmth & protection to another souls feet.
- In addition to education, giving books to others offers an endless supply of opportunities & greatness to those who can not afford such a simple purchase.
WHY? Some simple stats...
- In the United States, at least 200 million pairs of shoes and sneakers end up in landfills each year. *
- Shoes in landfills can take 30 to 40 years to decompose. *
- More than 600 million people worldwide don’t even own a pair of shoes. *
- 640,000 tons of books are deposited into landfills every year. *
