Greg Woodburn, a sophomore at the USC cleans used sneakers and shares them with underprivileged children in the United States and 20 other countries. I'm going to look in my closet right now, surely there is an old sneaker waiting for a new life.

This is a great idea - similar to Toms Shoes. This sounds like a good way to put things into to use that would otherwise end up in a landfill.; October 18, 2010 at 3:37 PM

thanks so much for posting to the blog. So many of us have items we no longer use and it is always so encouraging to learn about ways to make share those items with others.

Another idea from my days as a high school teachers, was at Montgomery High where they collected "slightly used" prom dresses and donated them to girls who were going to prom on a budget.; October 18, 2010 at 9:50 PM
