It’s time to refresh your footwear and make a positive impact on the environment! Join Go Green La Grange for their Sandal & Shoe Share on Saturday, May 24th, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the La Grange Public Library (10 W Cossitt Ave).
This community-focused event invites you to swap your old styles for new ones. All seasonally appropriate shoes will be accepted to share with others in the community. Whether you have gently worn sandals ready for a new home or shoes that have seen better days, bring them along! Unusable shoes will also be accepted and responsibly donated or repurposed, keeping them out of landfills and giving them new life.
Why This Matters: The Mission of Go Green La Grange
Founded in 2008 and officially incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2021, Go Green La Grange is on a mission to create a more sustainable future through education, community action, and environmental advocacy. This volunteer-driven nonprofit encourages residents to rethink consumption habits, reduce waste, and make small changes that have a big environmental impact.
Throughout the year, Go Green La Grange organizes a variety of initiatives including electronics recycling drives, seed exchanges, native plant sales, clothing and textile take-backs, and the popular Pocket Pollinator Program. Each event empowers community members to take meaningful steps toward sustainability—whether it’s in their homes, gardens, or daily shopping habits.
This Sandal & Shoe Share is just one example of how the organization promotes practical, hands-on solutions to reduce waste and foster community connections. By participating, you’re not only decluttering your closet—you’re helping preserve the planet for future generations.
