The Healthy Lombard Foundation would like to offer everyone an opportunity to touch the lives of hundreds of children and help support our mission.
HOW:
The public is invited to participate in a shoe collection drive to raise funds for the Healthy Lombard Foundation. Donations of gently worn used and new shoes will be accepted. The number of shoes collected determines the amount of money raised.
All donated shoes will be redistributed to microenterprise partners through Funds2Orgs, a for-profit social enterprise, and used in developing nations for impoverished people to start their own businesses.
WHEN: April 15 – June 15, 2016

DETAILS:
In the US alone, approximately 630 million pairs of shoes are thrown away per year. The materials used to manufacture a pair of shoes are created from chemical compounds that will create health hazards if left to disintegrate openly or in landfills. By donating your gently worn used and new shoes to Healthy Lombard, your shoes are given a second chance to make a difference.
