Got Sneakers is a sneaker recycling organization that helps combat climat change and global warming. By donating your unwanted sneakers, you can earn money for The Harbour and make a positive impact! GotSneakers offers between $1.00 and $7.00 for every pair of wearable sneakers collected through their social fundraising program, so the more sneakers you collect, the bigger impact you make!
