DONATE NOW!

For over 20 years, 1st Place Sports has collected and donated used running shoes to the homeless community in Jacksonville. After Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, 1st Place Sports donated 1,000 pairs of shoes to its victims. Help us help our Jacksonville community! Bring in any of your old running shoes to any of our five store locations! At the end of the month we distribute them to various organizations who give them to those in need.
