"Our warmest thanks for a wonderfully successful Zero Waste Day! Results are still coming in, but we know that we served 493 donors, donated more than 2,500 books and 97 bikes, and each organization drove away with trucks (some multiple) full of items that will help thousands of neighbors in need. We couldn't be happier! Stay tuned in the coming days for more details.
