Twice in the last few days I've read articles about donating new or gently used shoes. Shoes-4-Souls is a local nonprofit organization striving to collect 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes currently in American closets to the more than 400 million people in need of shoes. Look for drop box locations at www.MyOldShoes.org ; the national non-profit Soles4Souls (www.soles4souls.org)
also has local drop off spots.
I'm an avid recycler, but didn't know that even athletic shoes can be recycled! Janice Marchok's article in the N&O Wednesday stated that Nike has recyled more than 24 million pairs of sports shoes into athletic and playground surfaces. Read all about it at www.nikereuseashoe.com
Just something to keep in mind as you're deciding which shoes to wear...or maybe straightening the closet.
