Empties 4 Food
Our Empties 4 Food program turns empty drink containers into meaningful support for those in need. By collecting containers at our green bin locations, we raise funds that make a real difference in our community. Thanks to our generous supporters, we raised an incredible $420,276 in 2024—helping provide vital assistance. Together, we’re proving that small actions can lead to big change.
