April 23 - 27 is Recycling Week, and we are collecting returnable cans and bottles to raise money for Food for the Poor. This is an international Christian organization that works to provide food, employment, water, and housing to people in need. Here are a few examples of things our recycled bottles could buy:
A fruit tree for a family: $10
20 chicks to provide eggs for a family: $25
A goat to provide milk for a family: $90
Each of these items would provide both food and income for a family in need. To learn more about Food for the Poor, visit http://www.foodforthepoor.org/.
Look for the buckets in the front hallway, and bring in your returnable cans and bottles!
