The Ladies of Sacred Heart ask our parishioners to help with their “green initiative”.  By bringing your aluminum beverage cans to the recycling bin in the church parking lot, you can help our country stay a little greener and cleaner, and, at the same time, you can help the Ladies of Sacred Heart earn some “green” to help support our fundraising activities.  This past year, the Ladies of Sacred Heart were able to donate $8,000 to organizations who support the needy in our community, with the proceeds from our recycling effort amounting to about one-tenth of the total amount donated.

Please bring only aluminum cans (soda pop and beer cans).  If you can crush them (squeeze them and then step on them), it will reduce the size of the cans and make more room in our recycle bin.  Please also put the aluminum cans in plastic bags and then tie the bag closed so that the cans are not loose in the bin.  Removing those unbagged “donations” from the recycling bin on recycling day can be a most unpleasant job.

Dick Palinko and some of his fellow KCs take care of removing the contents of the recycle bin every month and hauling the bags to the pick-up area at church where the recycling company parks its trailer and collects, weighs and pays for our cans.

Please help us by adding all your aluminum cans to our recycling effort.  Stop at the recycling bin before Mass on Sunday, or any other convenient time, and toss in your bag.  (Just make sure that you include only aluminum soft drink or beer cans.)  Thank you for helping keep our country a little greener while helping the Ladies of Sacred Heart with their charitable fund raising activities.  If you have any questions, call Kathy Geske at 922-6323.
