Soft Plastics collections
Our Next Collection is , weather permitting
Dear Community,
Weather-permitting we are rescheduling our collections for June 21st.
Always check our Facebook Page for any changes. www.facebook.com/UULaconia/
and here at Laconia Links..
The Laconia- Gilford Lions Club and UUSL (Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia) Green Sanctuary volunteers will be out in front of the church at 172 Pleasant Street on Saturday soon, yet to be determined.
We are collecting # 6 styrofoam, soft plastics, and single-serve sized pop-top canned food for our Community Action Program (CAP). Additionally there is need for travel-sized hygiene products, towelettes (Wet Ones), hand sanitizers, personal care products (Depends for men and women).
Soft plastics and styrofoam must be clean and free of labels. Plastics cannot be any snack bags, candy wrappers, any product wrapping that is "crunchy" sounding. Mailers are acceptable. No bird seed or pet food bags can be collected.
We are pleased and proud that your Community saved from the landfills some 1100 pounds of soft plastics at our last collection. All that is saved for collection is converted into composite decking and furniture.
Save Earth in any small way you personally can and celebrate Earth Day every day! Thank you!
You can find us regularly at "Hands Across the Table."
We are collecting donations for the homeless at the same time that we hold our soft plastics drive. Poptop style canned goods allow easily opened nutritious food to be available to those in need. We thank you for any contributions you make.
UUSL gathers food weekly during our Sunday Service for the Local CAP Program.
