Today officially marks the kickoff to the school supply collection season. Our charity collects from far and wide; from Mokena north to Elmhurst and west into Naperville. Often, at the end of the year, everyone is in a hurry to 'call it a year' and too many valuable and perfectly useable supplies are thrown in the dumpster.
With nearly 40 schools participating in our 'Go Green' program we are able to rescue these resources and can get them in the hands of students who will make great use of them.
Our first stops today are at Lockport East and Lockport Central. These two school have participated in our program for many, many years. The effort has long been spearheaded by Sarah Steinke. This is the same person who helps us deliver supplies in August in addition to being responsible for our charity garnering $4,000 in cash from the Daughters of the American Revolution so that we could buy music instruments for John Hay Elementary School.
So here's to Sarah, her colleagues at Lockport and all the other kind hearted school personnel who participate in our recycling program.
Let the fun begin!!
