Children/Youth Ministries Fundraiser
Recycling fundraiser with GotSneakers to benefit the Children/Youth Ministries of FUMC Sealy
An estimated 600 million pair of shoes go into America’s landfills every year! 100% of these shoes can be recycled and the majority of these shoes can still be reused.
Here’s what we can do: Start in our family’s closets and gather as many pairs of sneakers we no longer want; out-grown ones, or out of style, or out of season. Ask our neighbors, friends, co-workers, and anyone in our social networks to help out. Every pair counts!
The sneakers we collect will raise money to support the Children/Youth Ministries of FUMC Sealy and help our environment by keeping sneakers out of landfills.
