Life Thru Hoops Academy – Sneaker Drive

In December 2025, we welcomed new friends from Life Thru Hoops Academy when their founder, David Boykin, personally delivered an impressive sneaker, sock and clothing drive. 

Life Thru Hoops works in partnership with student athletes, parents, and professional athletes to help young people make informed decisions that shape their futures and athletic careers.

The high-quality essentials they collected will go directly to children and teens in our community. 

A special shout out to our long-time partner Kurtis London from the Westchester County Department of Social Services, who connected Life Thru Hoops Academy with The Sharing Shelf. Partnerships like this help guarantee that meaningful resources reach children and teens who need them most.
