PUT YOUR BEST SHOES FORWARD
The MORE Foundation Group is a U.S. non-profit that collects gently used athletic shoes for
re-use and to fund reforestation projects in needy regions. MORE provides basic supplies, tools, seeds,
grow bags, compost, saplings, and agroforestry training—building self-sustaining tree farming.
How It Works
- Bring your gently used athletic shoes to your local Soccer Post.
- Donated pairs are resold to participating vendors in developing countries—reducing waste,
creating retail jobs, and stimulating free enterprise.
- Proceeds fund MORE Foundation’s reforestation & training programs.
Tip: Please tie each pair together by the laces before dropping off.
One Million Tree Project (Ghana)
Through the One Million Tree project, MORE Foundation has established nurseries in protected school
compounds where students are taught the MORE Farming System. The goal: reach 100 schools,
each growing 10,000 trees.
That’s 1 million trees!
Why Recycle Shoes with MORE?
- Keeps footwear out of landfills (some materials can take 100 years to decompose).
- Supports jobs and entrepreneurship in developing countries.
- Funds reforestation, training, and community sustainability.
Get Involved
- Gather clean, gently used athletic shoes (tie each pair together).
- Bring them to your nearest Soccer Post store.
- We’ll handle the rest with our partners at MORE Foundation.
