Peace Passers is an organization that collects soccer items for redistribution to groups or communities that have been identified as not having access to soccer gear without these donations. This is a global effort that is completed through collaborations with mission teams, sports ministries and other global non-profits.
They accept soccer balls, jerseys, shorts, cleats and socks which can be donated right to Peace Passers. They then match the donations up with the identified groups or communities. You may also organize a collection drive within your own soccer team or community to be sent to Peace Passers. They accept equipment from everywhere in the United States and if you would like to make a financial donation instead of equipment that is greatly appreciated as well.
To date Peace Passers has reached 30 different countries with their program:
Afghanistan, Angola, Belize, Brazil, Cameroon, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Iraq, Jamaica, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico, Nicaragua, Niger, Rwanda, Suriname, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, United States, Zambia
