After a year-long process of collecting used shoes, SRLA has officially broken the Guinness World Record for "Most Shoes Collected for Recycling."  The old record stood at 16,407 shoes, and SRLA's new record is now 18,302 shoes!

Shoes were counted on August 9 at Belvedere Middle School, as 50 volunteers worked tirelessly all morning to systematically count the shoes and then bag them up, which filled an entire moving truck.  Watch the video below to see how it all came together that day!

Shoes were donated to SA Recycling, and a portion of the profits will go back to SRLA to fund scholarships for graduating seniors.
