Before donating, please take a moment to check the condition of your sneakers to ensure they’re truly ready for a new home. We ask that all donated pairs be in good, wearable shape — free from holes, major tears, or heavy wear. A simple guiding question is: “Would I happily give these to my own child?” If the answer is yes, then your sneakers are exactly what a child in need would appreciate. After confirming their condition, kindly clean the sneakers with care and thoughtfulness. A little attention makes a big difference in how valued a child feels when receiving them. Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt or dust, and if the material allows, give them a light wash to restore freshness. Clean the soles and remove any debris from the tread, and consider washing or replacing the laces to give the shoes a renewed look. Your effort helps ensure every child receives not just a pair of sneakers, but a gift they can wear with pride.

After cleaning your sneakers, please place them in a protective bag or box to keep them in good condition during handling. For faster and more accurate matching, kindly label each pair with the size and the intended gender (Boys, Girls, or Unisex), as this small step greatly helps us ensure every child receives a pair that fits comfortably. Once your sneakers are packed and labeled, reach out to us at DrRonellBlizzardFoundation@Gmail.com to receive the nearest drop-off location or simple mailing instructions. Whether you prefer to donate locally or send your sneakers from a distance, we’ll provide clear guidance every step of the way, making your contribution easy, convenient, and impactful.
