No Sweat Sneaker Donations:

Katrina has left countless people with little but the clothes on their backs.  Although the donation of footwear may seem trivial in the face of the expansiveness of the needs of the survivors, it is one of many needs that indeed must be met.  No Sweat is donating 100 pairs of sneakers immediately and one of our retailers Feet of Dreams in Berkeley, CA is donating an additional 40. Sneaker donations will be distributed to the relief effort on the ground by way of Gifts in Kind (a 501(c)(3) charitable organization).  Here are some ways that you can help expand this effort:

• Direct Sneaker Donation
   
  Make a direct sneaker donation of $15 and we'll add a pair of sneakers on your behalf to our donation shipment.  This is simple to do since you can make the donation just by adding one or more Katrina Donation Sneakers to your cart as if it were a standard No Sweat product.  This donation can stand alone as a single purchase or be added to your cart along with any other items you would like to purchase here on the No Sweat site.  Either way you will receive a separate donation email receipt as confirmation of your charitable contribution.

No Sweat encourages any support you can offer to any of the numerous organizations that are spearheading the relief effort.   We have found the following site very useful in offering links to a variety of resources in this regard:
