Cartridges for Kids
This month, the individuals worked very hard to collect lots and lots of computer and printer cartridges around the campus.
We have numerous collection boxes around the campus. Once everyone returned from gathering the cartridges, we prepare and package them for shipping. Many people on the campus are glad to get rid of their cartridges and say thank you, when we collect them.
When the box is ready for shipping, we call Fed Ex and they come and pick up the package. In a couple weeks we will receive a check for the work we did.
The checks aren't a lot of money, but we put them toward a group activity that we agree on.
The whole process takes about 2-3 hours to complete.
