The Gift of Soccer Foundation is a meaningful Mitzvah Project to me because soccer has played an important role in shaping who I am, and it has made an unforgettable impact on my life. I began soccer at a young age, and through it I gained confidence, motivation, and a strong sense of belonging. Soccer has challenged me to work hard, collaborate with others and to push through even the hardest of obstacles both on and off the field.

Many children do not have the equipment to play soccer. I believe every child, no matter what age or background, should be able to participate in something they are so passionate about. My goal is to collect gently used gear, including cleats, jerseys, balls, gloves, shin guards, and equipment for The Gift Soccer Foundation, which will help children achieve their dream to play soccer.

Why donate you ask? The Gift of Soccer Foundation reduces waste by repurposing sports gear for children. They help the environment through responsible recycling and most importantly they help empower girls and boys by getting the equipment they need to play, learn and grow. By donating to The Gift of Soccer Foundation, as a community, we can make an impact and bring joy into children’s lives.
