Shoes for Planet Earth is a local charity that collects both new and used sports shoes to give to those in need, at no cost, both in Australia and around the world. They have shoe drop-off locations all over Australia and the shoes collected get re-distributed back into the local community from where they were collected. The shoes go to homeless shelters, youth crisis centers, women’s safe houses, disaster areas, and anyone with a need for shoes. Internationally the shoes are sent to 6 different African countries where they go to orphanages, churches, schools and other charities. The need in Africa is huge but postage is expensive, so any financial donations are appreciated. See our web page at www.shoesforplanetearth.com.
