Grande Prairie region's used sports gear drive wraps up this week
Families have only a few days left to drop off outgrown or unused equipment before the seasonal collection closes.
Why it matters
The donated equipment helps lower-income families in the region afford youth sports participation.
KidSport Peace Country and Sport Central are wrapping up their annual collection of gently used youth sports equipment this week, marking the final chance for residents in the Grande Prairie region to donate items.
The initiative gathers gear such as helmets, pads, cleats and other equipment that families no longer need, redirecting it to at-need kids who might otherwise be unable to afford the cost of participating in organized sports.
Organizers are encouraging residents with usable equipment sitting unused at home to bring it forward before the collection period ends, so it can be sorted and distributed ahead of the coming sports season.
