This month on KSB socials we will be featuring some of Savannah’s prominent green businesses, volunteer organizations and members of our community who are making a difference.
Meet Katie Hubbard and learn more about Lite Foot.
Lite Foot has two separate arms.
1. Lite Foot Company is a for-profit sustainable home goods and refillery store. People can bring their own containers or use ours and fill and refill there everyday items. From Handsoap, dish soap and laundry detergent to more niche personal care items such as hair gel, sun screen, bug spray and even deodorant. We also have other sustainable home goods in the store that help to replace commonly used single-use or plastic items such as reusable sponges, bamboo toothbrushes etc. We even have a section of all upcycled things such as coats made from sleeping bags, bags made from billboard vinyl and lamps made from cardboard. We are located in the Starland Disctrict at 2400 Bull St Suite. You can check us out there or online at www.litefootcompany.comor on IG.
2. Lite Foot Environmental Foundation, on the other hand, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that was established as an extension of the Company’s mission to make a larger impact in the community through education, advocacy, and environmental programs. We are in our first year of running the non-profit and are excired to see what 2025 has to offer after fundraising and grant writing all of 2024.
IN 2025 we will host the city’s Earth Day Festival (for the 2nd year in a row) as well as launch our two first programs. Lite Foot Environmental Foundation is tackling plastic waste in Savannah through two innovative initiatives: the Closed-Loop Aluminum Bottle Program and the Plastic Upcycling Initiative. Simultaneously, the Plastic Upcycling Initiative addresses the city’s lack of public recycling infrastructure by transforming plastic waste into durable, long-lasting products like public recycling bins, park benches, and household items. Through education, collaboration, and action, these programs work together to reduce waste, promote sustainability, and inspire a greener future for Savannah.
