🎉 WE DID IT! 🎉
Our Bottle Caps to Benches Initiative has officially reached our goal of **200 pounds of bottle caps!**
What started as a simple idea quickly grew into something incredible. We have been overwhelmed by the support from our community, local businesses, schools, libraries, YMCAs, recycling centers, and countless individuals who chose to be part of something bigger.
But here's the exciting part...
We're already well on our way toward collecting enough bottle caps for a **SECOND bench!** ♻️💚
To help streamline collections, we will begin removing the smaller collection buckets from participating businesses next week. However, you can still drop off bottle caps at the **Staunton Recycling Center** and **Waynesboro Recycling Center** as we continue working toward our next goal of **400 pounds**.
As this project continues to grow, so do the costs associated with making it happen. While the bottle caps are donated, the project still requires fuel for weekly collection routes, transportation expenses, promotional materials, and collection displays.
That's why we're asking for your support.
If this project has inspired you, helped bring our community together, or simply made you smile, please consider supporting our GoFundMe campaign.
Every donation—large or small—helps us continue turning waste into something meaningful while supporting community organizations right here at home.
