Sun Lumble program collects and upcycles shoes for student athletes
Summary
Presenters said Sun Lumble collects donated shoes to keep them out of landfills and redistribute them to student athletes; the group also combines donations into community care packages called 'sun bundles.'
A presenter described Sun Lumble's work collecting shoes that otherwise would go to landfills and redistributing them to student athletes who lack the means to buy new equipment. "So here at Sun Lumble, we take shoes from individual organizations," the speaker said, adding the group gives those shoes "a 2nd chance and upcycle to student athletes."
Another presenter explained the group also packages donated shoes together with upcycled clothing and health-related materials to create "sun bundles" for communities in need. The transcript did not list the group's legal status, operating budget, or the number of bundles distributed annually.
