<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>One of the ways that The Goodpush Alliance aims to support our community is by linking up equipment sponsors with social skate projects that are lacking the skateboards and safety gear they need for their programs. To help match up equipment donations with projects in-need, last year we launched our </span></span></span></span></span></span><a href="https://www.goodpush.org/blog/what-are-your-skateboarding-equipment-needs"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>Equipment Needs form</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span><span><span><span><span><span> and invited any social skate project to worldwide to fill it out (if you haven’t done so yet, we encourage you to do so </span></span></span></span></span></span><a href="https://www.goodpush.org/blog/what-are-your-skateboarding-equipment-needs"><span><span><span><span><span><span><span><span>here</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></a><span><span><span><span><span><span>).&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>In the past year, we have been able to coordinate several donations, and we wanted to highlight one skate company that has been most active in supporting the Goodpush community.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>Since mid-2020, Heart Supply and Rolling Thunder Supply Co. have donated or committed more than 300 complete skateboards to different social skateboarding projects around the world. We first linked up with the Heart Supply #GiveSkateboarding program in August last year, when Rolling Thunder’s Co-Founder and Director Steve Douglas asked for help distributing 100 completes. Since then we have worked together with Heart Supply to arrange donations to skate projects in Mozambique, Bangladesh, Palestine, Jordan, Iraq, Ecuador and more locations.&nbsp;</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>

<p><span><span><span><span><span><span>We thought it would be great to go deeper and learn more about their program to “get skateboards under kids’ feet” so we asked Steve to answer a few questions.</span></span></span></span></span></span></p>
