The American Nurses Association – New York (ANA-NY) is proud to partner with Sneakers4Good to give gently used sneakers a second life while making a meaningful impact in communities both locally and globally.

As nurses, we’re always on the move, whether at work, at the gym, or in everyday life. Now, those sneakers can continue making an impact even after you’re done with them. Through this partnership, donated sneakers are kept out of landfills and redirected into the global reuse economy, helping to support charitable initiatives, small businesses, and community programs.

Sneakers4Good has helped keep millions of pairs of shoes out of landfills while generating funding for organizations and creating opportunities for microentrepreneurs around the world. Every pair donated contributes to a more sustainable future and supports causes that make a difference.

How to Participate

ANA-NY members and supporters are encouraged to donate gently used sneakers whether they’re running shoes, workout sneakers, or everyday wear, by mailing them to:

ANA-NY
150 State Street, 4th Floor
Albany, NY 12207
Attn: Deb Spass

Please ensure sneakers are gently used and still wearable.
At this time, donations should be mailed to the address above.
