Mar 5 – Mar 31 all-day

Have you begun your spring cleaning? Here’s a great way to get rid of any old sneakers you may have around the house.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) has partnered with GotSneakers to help raise money for Mothers Against Drunk Driving Loudoun (MADD). Adult and children sneakers can be donated. THE LCSO asks that they be tied together and brought to one of the LCSO stations on or before March 31, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Here are the drop off locations:

Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Headquarters – 803 Sycolin Road in Leesburg, VA 20177
Dulles South Public Safety Center – 25216 Loudoun County Pkwy, Chantilly, VA 20152
Eastern Loudoun Station – 46620 East Frederick Dr., Sterling, VA 20164
Ashburn Station – 20272 Savin Hill Dr., Ashburn, VA 20147
Western Loudoun Station – 47 W. Loudoun St, Round Hill, VA 20141

The LCSO will accept all styles and conditions of sneakers. After the sneakers are collected, GotSneakers will process and distribute these sneakers around the world specifically within impoverished nations using micro-enterprise partners helping those in need. The sneakers that are damaged are processed and ground into surfaces for playgrounds, gym floors, tracks, outdoor courts, and synthetic turfs.

Historic Waterford Foundation Walking Tour- Black Historic Sites @ Waterford Foundation
Apr 16 @ 12:11 pm – 1:11 pm

Organized by the Historic Waterford Foundation, this in-person walking tour will focus on the history and architecture of the village of Waterford, focusing on Black History Sites. Waterford was within the part of Loudoun County known as the Underground Railroad route. It was also a haven for free Blacks. Settled by Quakers, the village offered more opportunities for African Americans than most other places in the south. Black historic sites in the village are numerous, and include Second Street School, a one-room school funded by Quakers; a Freedmen’s Bureau which served Black residents from 1867 to 1957; and the John Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church, a Gothic Revival church built by and for African Americans in 1891. The town has many other well preserved homes and workplaces where free and enslaved African Americans lived and worked.

The tour is organized and conducted by the non-profit Waterford Foundation, which has played an important role in revitalizing Waterford and providing information and tours for the public.

Open to the public.
Tickets $20, $15 for Children ages 12 and under. Registration required
