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.
