Capistrano Valley High School, Newhart Middle School, and Castille Elementary School will collect new and gently used shoes the week of November 14 – 18, 2011. These local schools will receive .50 cents/pound for every pair of shoes in recyclable condition and proceeds will not only benefit the schools, but the recycled shoes will be delivered to third world countries for those who desperately need footwear.
Residents can bring all types of unused or old athletic shoes such as basketball, cross-training, running and walking shoes (any shoe with a rubber sole) to one of the three schools. Please, no dress shoes, cleats/spikes, clogs or flip flops. Donation bins will be placed around the campuses and each pair of shoes should be bundled with a rubber band or placed in a separate bag.
The shoe drive is sponsored by Kick Start Capo, a Capistrano Valley High School student club. For more information, please contact Meagan Shinbashi at (949) 380-1953 or by email at kickstartcapo@gmail.com.
