Make a Child Smile. Donate Used Gear

The Kids we work with are at risk and 99% could neve buy a ball or soccer footwear. You can actually make our players smile by simply donating used gear to Global Soccer Ministries. Used gear can be put to good use helping bring hope and happiness to an at-risk child in Guatemala, Jamaica and the other countries Global Soccer Ministries has an impact.

Used gear includes balls, athletic shoes, soccer cleats, socks, t-shirts, uniforms, shin guards, warm-up clothes, goalkeeper gear, first aid equipment, nets, goals, referee equipment, etc. that are still in usable condition. According to Paul Banta, founder and President of Global Soccer Ministries, “We always welcome new gear and monetary donations but we also know there is a lot of unused gear lying around that we can put to good use in our youth programs. We tend to take for granted how easy it is to get gear here in the U.S. and how common it is to have multiples of everything from socks to balls”.

The demand for gear is increasing as Global Soccer Ministries is expanding its outreach and youth programs in Jamaica and Guatemala. Global Soccer Ministries hopes to have a presence in Haiti and El Salvador soon. According to Banta the demand is outpacing the ability for his organization to keep up. “That’s why it is so important for individuals, organizations and businesses to partner with us to make a difference in the lives of these children and young adults. Through soccer we are able to reach literally thousands of kids with a message of hope. We don’t want to leave one out because we don’t have gear or the means to help”, Banta added.

New and used gear as well as donations can be sent to Global Soccer Ministries. Click for shipping address.
