Hello DIYba69822021!
First off, thank you so much! It is very kind of you to consider bringing items from home to donate while you’re in CR. 🙂
Normally, I’d supply you with specifics to help with the soccer shoes/equipment donation, but unfortunately, the donation project we wrote about has been temporarily suspended due to Covid. We may be able to help you arrange something else, though, depending on where you plan to travel in the country. Which destination(s) do you intend to visit? With respect to soccer shoes/equipment, truly any/all types and sizes would be appreciated. With respect to other possible donation items, there are plenty! The organization Pack For A Purpose works with several companies in Costa Rica and is a good place to start. Here’s a link to the page that outlines which Costa Rican companies you can donate items to through Pack For A Purpose: https://www.packforapurpose.org/destinations/central-america/costa-rica/). If you click on the name of a Costa Rican business on the page, it will show you their donation “needs,” which are items they ask travelers to bring from home. These range from school and reference materials, art/music items, and toys, to first aid and personal grooming supplies. Sadly, the “needs” lists are endless.
Thank you in advance for your generosity!
Pura vida! 🙂
