Join The Douglas Center at Lincolnwood’s Recycling Event

We’re looking forward to participating in the Village of Lincolnwood Recycling Event on Saturday, August 8, and we hope you’ll join us. Bring your gently worn, used, or new shoes and help create three lasting impacts: supporting adults with intellectual, developmental, physical, and mental disabilities at The Douglas Center, creating opportunity through our partnership with Funds2Orgs, and reducing environmental waste by giving shoes a second life. Together, we can turn a simple pair of shoes into lasting opportunity.
