As part of the 300 Challenge, we’ve teamed up with Soles 4 Souls charity and will be hosting a shoe drive for the remainder of May. Soles 4 Souls is a great organization that has helped raise over 17 million pairs of shoes for those in need, and distributed them to 127 countries. To learn more, visit their website: http://www.
How to Donate? 3 Ways!
1) Bring your shoes to the gym during the 300 Challenge on May 12th from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM. You’re welcome to stick around and watch the competitors, or grab a bite to eat.
2) If you live near the gym, you may receive a bag /flier on your door this coming weekend. If you have shoes to donate, leave them out on your front porch on Saturday May 19th. We will be by sometime between 10:00 – 2:00 to pick them up.
3) If you can’t make either of these days, please feel free to bring your shoes by the gym anytime between now and the end of May. We will have a donation box inside the gym. Be sure to check the class schedule to make sure someone is there. We’re only open during class times.
What to Donate?
Shoes – Both used and new. Soles 4 Souls accepts anything – Tennis Shoes, Heels, Sandals, etc.
Money – We will also be taking monetary donations to help offset the cost of shipping. We are responsible for shipping the shoes we collect directly to the nearest Soles 4 Souls warehouse. $1/ pair of shoes is our goal.
