Give New Life To Your Old Shoes With Lenny's Shoe & Apparel
WILLISTON, VT - Lenny's Shoe & Apparel has partnered with Rerun Shoes to recycle shoes for reuse and promote sustainable business in West Africa.
Rerun Shoes is a social enterprise with an environmental mission. Their efforts divert usable shoes from the waste stream in North America to reuse in African markets. Rerun supplies micro-entrepreneurs in Mali, Guinea and Liberia with shoes they refurbish and bring to market. These recycled shoes provide small scale entrepreneurs the ability to earn an income offering affordable footwear to their customers.
"Lenny's is proud to do our part to promote a sustainable future for our world," said Lenny's Vice President Marc McCarthy. "Many of the shoe vendors we work with practice 'green' manufacturing of their products. Rerun Shoes is committed to sustainable development and share our beliefs of being environmentally conscious and giving back."
To get involved with Lenny's shoe recycling program, customers can drop off their gently used shoes to any of the 3 Lenny's locations, in Williston, Barre or St. Albans.
