Old Tires Tread On As New Sandals In Detroit

When a tire is too worn out to drive on, what purpose can it serve?

Executive Director Rev. Faith Fowler, and other good-doers at Cass Community Social Services (CCSS), have proven by example that a tires use does not have to end when it comes off of your vehicle.

The Detroit based organization has been aiding the joint effort to clean up the planet by removing and recycling illegally dumped tires from its own 139 square miles of roadways. The organization then uses the rubber to create a brand of sandals that are unique to The Motor City, "Detroit Treads".

Since 2007, CCSS has helped to clean up more than 35,000 tires to make mud mats and now, Detroit Treads sandals. Their effort has accomplished more than making the city of Detroit cleaner. CCSS now employs over 80 part time workers, and distributes a quality product at an affordable price.

If you want to contribute to a great cause, while also walking away on a pair of nifty sandals, visit CCSS online or call Sue Pethoud at (313) 883-2277 ext. 203 to order your Detroit Treads over the phone.
