Excerpt from letter written by Marcia Levison, Manager of the Richmond Food Shelf:
“Dear RES Students, Staff and TerraCycle Volunteers,
We so appreciate the time and effort all of you spend on processing the non-recyclables for the TerraCycle program. Your efforts have brought in over $490. ! A big thank you for this creative fundraising project…not to mention the importance of keeping this kind of waste out of our landfills."
Best,
Marcia Levison, Manager, the Board and Volunteers of the RFS
