Soccer for the Homeless - Please Help!

Please Help!!!
USA club players Cole and Gage Davis are doing a service project to share something they love with others. This past year, their uncle David Nibley from Seattle started a street soccer team for the homeless. The team is primarily comprised of homeless male youth 16-24. These youth struggle to provide food, shelter and safety; therefore they are unable to spend money on soccer gear. Donations of gently used/new equipment are being collected at USA club tryouts June 2, 4, 7, & 8 from 6-8pm at South Jordan Park, or call 801-253-7472 for donation pickups.
“Street Soccer Seattle is soccer for social change. Our mission is to foster the camaraderie, community, and confidence that is central to the sport of soccer to empower homeless individuals to find greater success and peace in their lives.”
Items Needed:
• Soccer Socks
• Indoor Soccer Shoes
• Shin Guards
• Soccer Balls (Size 5 Regular or Street Soccer Balls)
• Water Bottles
