We celebrated Earth Day by hosting another paint recycling fundraiser with our friends from EarthPaint.org. Together we raised over $1100 and recycled almost 300 gallons of unwanted paint that we collected from area homeowners in exchange for a cash donation.

EarthPaint gives old paint new purpose by using it to create high-quality new paint that it sells at its retail store in WoodDale and also donates to other worthy organizations. Plus, they hire adults with disabilities to do the work. So it’s win-win recycling at its finest, reducing waste while also creating much-needed jobs.

Thanks to Roberta Sullivan at d’Vine Wine and Gifts for her continued support of this fundraiser and to all our wonderful volunteers: Ari, Brian, Cherie, Danny, Jane, Jeff, Jeremy, Kate, Linda, Lisa and Sandy.
