Donate Your Old Running Shoes for a Good Cause The Dallas Running Club is teaming up with the Shoe Bank to put our discarded running shoes to good use. This organization has been working since 1989 to put shoes on less fortunate adults and children, both locally and overseas. You can help by bringing retired shoes to the DRC clubhouse and placing them in the donation box. Depending on the individual, running shoes are best worn for 300 to 400 miles. When those shoes are too worn for comfortable running, they’re probably still good enough for everyday use by someone who really needs them. In addition to men’s and women’s athletic shoes, the Shoe Bank also needs men’s dress shoes and any type of shoes for children, except flip-flops. We are urging Dallas Running Club members to set aside those old shoes to give them to a good cause when cleaning out their closets. It’s as simple as dropping them off in the big, colorful box at the DRC clubhouse. The DRC clubhouse is located at 1152 North Buckner Boulevard in Suite 121. This is on the northeast corner of the intersection of Buckner and Garland Road at the last storefront in the Casa Linda shopping center, before the Guaranty Bank. The Dallas Running Club clubhouse is open Wednesdays from 6:30 to 7 pm and Saturdays from 6:30 to 7 am. The Shoe Bank was originally founded in 1989 to put comfortable shoes on the feet of a few hundred homeless men living on the streets of downtown Dallas. The program today provides shoes for twenty thousand people every year – primarily children, both here and abroad. For more information, visit www.shoebank.orgLast revised June 20, 2008 |
