Walk A Mile In Her Shoes
Brainerd / Baxter, Minnesota
We Want Your Old Sneakers & Tennis Shoes!
Everybody wins! Walk A Mile In Her Shoes makes money, someone in need gets shoes and landfill waste is reduced.
Q: Can I bring in shoes that aren't sneakers or tennis shoes?
A: No. The Green Sneakers people only want sneakers.
Q: Do they have to be in good condition?
A: We want all sneakers and tennis shoes. Shoes that are 'used, but not used up,' will be given to someone who needs shoes. If they are 'used up,' that is with holes larger than a dime or worse, they will be recycled.
Q: How do I donate my old shoes?
A: Tie them together and put them in a plastic (grocery) bag. Bring them to the Walk A Mile In Her Shoes event. We'll have a bin for donations.
Q: I can't make it to the event. What can I do?
A: Another drop off point will be announced soon. Also, this will be an ongoing fundraiser for the Women's Center. The need and program are ongoing. Again, a regular drop-off location will be announced soon.
Q: Do I get money for my shoes?
A: The shoes go to the Green Sneakers program. They give us 50 cents a pound for the shoes and the money goes to Walk A Mile In Her Shoes. You get to feel good because you helped support Walk A Mile In Her Shoes, helped someone who needs shoes and kept trash out the landfill.
