Businesses
Host a Sneaker Stop at your shop and we bring the collection box, the signage, and we handle pickup. You give the floor space and keep an eye on the box. Every stop gets named on the site and on the drive map.
Schools
Run a drive with your students. We bring the bins and a short talk about where the sneakers go and who wears them. Schools have been some of our biggest collection points.
Sponsors
About 21% of Bridgeport residents live below the poverty line, roughly twice the national average, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and many families here go without necessities including footwear for school and work. The drive costs about $5,000 to run. That is gas for sneaker pickups across the city, space to hold the giveaway, t-shirts for volunteers, and supplies. Sponsors fund those line items directly, so you know exactly what your money paid for.
