In conjunction with Earth Day on April 22nd, we will continue collecting throughout the month of April for The Green Project. This organization has been serving New Orleans since 1994, The Green Project's mission, which is to promote a culture of creative reuse by diverting usable materials from landfills and cultivating a respect for their value, is executed through three main pathways, a salvage store, a paint recycling program, and environmental education.
By selling used and teaching about reuse, they are able to provide affordable materials to the community, host low-cost and free workshops, keep usable goods out of the landfill and nearby waterways, preserve historic architectural pieces and educate residents about environmental issues.
You can donate any time during the month by dropping your dollar bills and coins in the chuck-it bucket found in the narthex at church or by clicking the HERE.
