Share the Love With Shoes

by Cynthia Brian Many people are unaware that 85% of consumer textiles end up in landfills, a practice that is extremely harmful to the environment. For the past 24 years, the nonprofit Be the Star You Are has been increasing literacy and saving trees by collecting thousands of new and used books and donating them to disaster relief efforts around the country. With the Russian war against Ukraine and the unprecedented natural disasters around the world, millions of people are currently experiencing difficult living conditions, and, although books are always an enlightening resource, this year Be the Star You Are pivoted to share the love and assist with a basic need: shoes. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, over 70% of the global population needs shoes. In collaboration with Moraga's 5 A Rent-a-Space and Mark Hoogs State Farm Insurance, Be the Star You Are volunteers are launching a shoe drive to collect and ship shoes to several countries including Haiti, Pakistan, Ghana, Ukraine, and more to help lift women and families out of extreme poverty by providing a means for them to create a micro-business. These micro-entrepreneurs will be able to sell footwear at an inexpensive price from their home, a street stall, or even a tent to enhance their income and support their families. "We are excited to launch this new micro-enterprise project. Everyone has a few pairs of wearable shoes that no longer serve us. What a wonderful opportunity to give them to those who need them and will repurpose them to benefit themselves and their communities," says Executive Director Cynthia Brian. All clean, new, or gently used shoes of all sizes, boots, and work boots are wanted. No ski or snowboard boots, rollerblades, or ice skates can be accepted. "If possible, please keep pairs together by tying laces or putting a rubber band around the shoes," Brian adds. Be the Star You Are teen chairperson, Ella Kalpakjian is spearheading the shoe collection at Campolindo High School. Shoes may be dropped in the designated Campo bin beginning on April 17. If you will be attending the April 29 Moraga Community Faire, shoes may be delivered to the Be the Star You Are booth. Drop shoes at these two locations (May 1- June 30): Mark Hoogs State Farm Insurance (629 Moraga Road, Moraga) [phone], www.TeamHoogs.com; and 5 A Rent-A-Space (455 Moraga Rd. #F, Moraga) 925-631-7000, https://5aspace.com/ If your business would like to host a drop-off box, email [email protected] For more information, visit www.bethestaryouare.org/shoedrive

🍻🍺👟#ArtIsAWeapon #FullBloomNight #fundraiser & #shoedrive at @thebronxgallery to promote #mentalwellness in #TheBronx #EndTheStigma Reposted from @thebronxbrewery This summer, @fullc1rclelife’s dedicated to providing free counseling to Bronx foster families struggling from pandemic stressors. And every dollar, every volunteer & every conversation counts. Want to learn more? Want to help? Need help? Come by the Backyard Wednesday night for a Full Circle fundraiser, and help families in need flourish. #EndTheStigma About Full Circle “Our team is made up of culturally diverse mental health experts and professionals from multiple disciplines. We are passionate about empowering families, women and children of color who struggle with the human condition, racism, racial injustices, domestic violence, trauma, and mental illness to reach their full potential. We believe that mental health is foundational to all health and that knowledge empowers to make a difference. WE can all make a difference if we fight against healthcare disparities, social and healing injustices. Our approach is culturally sensitive, compassionate and utilizes evidence-based programming strategies. The Center works with community partners with like-minded missions and believes in supporting vulnerable populations, youth and families as a focus to help empower those most in need. Education and awareness is the key. The Center is dedicated to increasing quality access to mental health care and stamping out stigma and shame. The Center has a goal of advocating for mental health healing justice and empowering vulnerable populations and people of color, specifically targeting African American and Hispanic families. As the world adjust to the ‘new normal’ of health threats from Covid-19, the center is also committed to resiliency, strengthening coping strategies and preparing communities how to live in faith and not fear.” Come to the Backyard on Wednesday to learn more about the mission, and find ways to contribute. Additionally, if you have any gently worn shoes, bring them to help @fullc1rclelife send them to those in need overseas. #TheBronxBrewery #TraScapades #BeerGeeks (at The Bronx Brewery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDPSxw1gprC/?igshid=1m3ge0cewh2f5
