Donate your unwanted shoes for a great cause

Drop your unwanted shoes in the tall, wooden box near Cooper Library’s center stairs and they’ll go far. In fact, they will be featured on the steps of the South Carolina State Capitol during Disability Advocacy Day on March 6 where each pair will represent to lawmakers 15 people in South Carolina who have disabilities like Autism, Down Syndrome, and traumatic brain injury.

After Disability Advocacy Day, your donations will be delivered to Soles4Souls, which sends shoes to people in need in the U.S. and elsewhere and employs adults with disabilities in its distribution warehouses.

Shoes will be collected through Friday, Feb. 15. The event is co-sponsored by the Clemson Libraries and Clemson Student Disability Services.
