Most of us have a few pairs of sneakers we no longer wear. They are too good to throw away, but not quite right to keep. Donating them through ProjectKix turns that hesitation into something genuinely useful: funding for athletes, support for charities, and one less pair headed for a landfill.
One pair, three kinds of good
Every pair you send does three things at once. It keeps wearable footwear in circulation instead of in the trash, it generates funding that supports adaptive sports programs and the causes our partners care about, and it gives someone, somewhere, a quality pair of shoes to put to use.
- Environmental: footwear stays out of landfills and the circular economy keeps moving.
- Social: funds flow to disabled athletes, local non-profits, and community programs.
- Practical: gently used sneakers find a second life with people who need them.
Why it adds up
Individually, one donation feels small. Collectively, sneaker drives across schools, gyms, and workplaces add up to thousands of pairs and meaningful funding. That is the quiet power of recycling footwear at scale: ordinary closets become a steady source of support for extraordinary athletes.
Getting started is intentionally simple
We made the process as frictionless as possible. You can request a donation bag in under a minute, fill it with up to seven pairs of wearable sneakers, and drop it at any FedEx location. We handle everything after that, so your good intention never gets stuck in logistics.
