Assistance League of Northern Virginia is excited to announce that we have launched a partnership with GotSneakers to collect athletic shoes to raise funds for our philanthropic programs. GotSneakers has developed a social enterprise that compensates charitable organizations based on the quantity and condition of the sneakers they collect. Gently worn and new athletic shoes will be provided to people who would otherwise lack access to affordable footwear. Sneakers determined to be unsuitable for that purpose will be recycled for use in paving materials to resurface playgrounds and tracks.
Everyone can help simply by donating their sneakers, and your donation will reap triple rewards, at no cost to you! You will help Assistance League raise funds for children and families in need in our community, you’ll help those who want quality athletic shoes, and you will also keep sneakers out of landfills and improve the environment. Win-win-win!!!
We currently have seven volunteers in areas throughout Northern Virginia who are collecting sneakers for our chapter.
