MORE Foundation Group

Lewes, DE, US • 20 - 49 Employees
Non-Profit

The MORE Foundation Group is a US non-profit organization, currently in our twenty-first year. We collect gently used athletic shoes for re-use and for funding reforestation projects in needy regions. MORE provides basic supplies, tools, seeds, grow bags, compost, saplings, and agroforestry training. Essentially, MORE implements self-sustaining tree farming.MORE stands for Modular Organic Regenerative Environments. Our reforested environments create very positive impacts on rural economies and climate. One tree can produce from one hundred thousand seeds to over five million seeds every year while creating massive carbon offset (48 pounds per tree per year). We are the largest non-profit recycler of used athletic shoes in the United States. We currently partner with running stores, YMCAs, gyms, fitness centers, churches, schools, individuals, and private businesses across the country. The majority of locations collect year-round; we also support special events and hundreds of seasonal drives.MORE is 100% funded with recycled athletic shoes. We have a value-added, multi-faceted approach to shoe recycling. Instead of 100 years decomposing in landfills, the donated shoes are sold to participating vendors in developing countries. This creates retail jobs while stimulating free enterprise.
