Dear AKSE Members & Friends of AKSE,
Adas Kodesch Shel Emeth has partnered with Community Recycling and its ShoeBox Recycling
program. Together we are on a mission to help promote the importance of shoe recycling while
raising funds for AKSE. ShoeBox Recycling is easy, engaging and rewarding for everyone
involved.
Participation is simple. We are collecting gently used (or no longer used) shoes for reuse.
ShoeBox Recycling collection boxes have been placed in the lobby of AKSE. Simply “Bring your
Shoes to Shul” and deposit them in the collection box. As each box is filled, it will be shipped out
for distribution, and AKSE receives a small fee for its efforts. All the shoes we recycle as a group
are destined for another home. From South America to Africa to areas right here in the United
States, our ShoeBox Recycling efforts will help people and communities in over 50 countries.
Our community will benefit as well. Not only will your recycled shoes help AKSE raise funds, it will
also help keep these shoes out of our local landfills.
So start cleaning out your closets and start looking under your bed for gently used shoes. Every
pair you recycle means shoes for those in need, extra funds for us, and less landfill waste.
If you are unable to drop your shoes off, have a large quantity of shoes for recycling, or need more
information, please contact AKSE at (302) 762-2705 to make arrangements for someone to come by
to pick up your donation.
Follow These Easy Steps:
Drop off your used shoes in the AKSE lobby or call (302) 762-2705 for
convenient pick-up service
We ship the shoes to Community Recycling for distribution to those in need.
AKSE receives a small fee.
You free up some closet space and contribute to less landfill waste.
Ask your family, friends, neighbors and co-workers to participate. Feel good
that you did a Mitzvah.
