February Lakemont Charity DRIVE
Sneakers, Coats, Jackets, and clothes drive.

Charity starts at home, and Lakemont is a tight community connected to its neighbors. We are kicking off our first charity events. We are combining 3 clothing and shoe drive in one event and would love to get your help and contribution.
SNEAKERS:
Do you have used or unwanted sneakers? In the United States, at least 200 million pairs of sneakers end up in landfills each year. Let’s keep those sneakers out of landfills! Saturday, 2/1/2025, and Sunday, 2/2/2025, are Lakemont Sneaker, Coat, and Jacket Donation/Recycling Weekend. Please drop off your used and unwanted sneakers by the front door of 16813 SE 56th Place in Chander Park between 8 am and 4 pm on 1/25 and 1/26. Gather your used sneakers so they can get a 2nd life or be recycled!
2. COATS and JACKETS:
The Puget Sound region is in need of coats and jackets during these cold winter months. Help our neighbors and donate a coat or jacket you no longer need. Coats and jackets can also be dropped off by the front door of 16813 SE 56th Place in Chander Park between 8 am and 4 pm on Saturday, February 1st, and Sunday, February 2nd.
3. CLOTHING for WOMEN, KIDS, YOUNG ADULTS
Sophia Way, a homeless women and homeless family charity, is grateful to receive clothing for women, children, and young adults. We partnered with Sophia Way to receive your clothes - happy to receive anything in good shape.
