I have mountains of sneakers thrown into boxes and locked away in a storage unit in Los Angeles. What a waste! I did manage to fill two large suitcases with old kicks and take them overseas to distribute, but I still have more! My collection has gotten so big that I've started to treat my sneakers like potato chips! After doing some research on the web, I came across this great site that takes your sneakers and gives them to people in need. The organization is called Soles4Souls and all you have to do is go here and put in your zip code and a list of locations will pop up of where you can drop-off your goods.
Let someone with no shoes walk in those neglected sneakers you've got bunched up in your closet, or storage unit. It's finally summer and the concrete outside can get scorching hot for the homeless.
