WNY Leveling the Playing Field has opened our doors and we are working to fill our warehouse with used and excess sports equipment so we can begin distributing it to kids in need by Spring 2024!
Collection drives are the most impactful way to help LPF get the gear we need to support local kids in need. Essentially, volunteer collectors tap into their network of classmates, friends, teammates, neighbors, etc. to collect any unused/extra gear. Donations are then transported to our warehouse, with an optional volunteer session to inventory and sort your own collections!
To learn more about how to run your own collection drive, please visit www.levelingtheplayingfield.org or contact WNY Program Director Taylor Cicoria at taylor@levelingtheplayingfield.org. Thank you for your support!

About Leveling the Playing Field
Location:
79 Benbro Drive, Buffalo, NY 14225, US
Mission Statement
LPF redistributes equipment to expand access and equity within youth sports and recreation programs in under-resourced communities.
Description
Leveling the Playing Field was founded in 2013 in response to the growing inequity between those who can afford to play sports and those who cannot, and the prominent role the cost of sporting goods was playing in that gap. LPF is a nonprofit organization that gets kids from low-income backgrounds involved in youth sports through the collection and re-distribution of used/excess sporting equipment- basically, a food bank for sports equipment. LPF has recently expanded to a new location here in Buffalo!
