Make sure you've got a BIG map...because you will receive lots of postcards from CALIFORNIA!

Great idea...I can't wait to see it fill up!

Hey Leeann!

Great Questions!!

We will start the event with an Opening Ceremony...we are still confirming the exact start time--it will probably be at 9am. Stay Tuned...all specifics will be updated on March 8th!

T-SHIRTS!! We will have them for the volunteers that arrive without them...but YES...if you have the new green t-shirt already....wear it!

I toured Crenshaw last week. There is LOTS to do and the teachers are so excited to have us!!!

It is going to be AMAZING!!!

Hey Kim,

We got connected to the kids from the High School through a teacher that was a regular customer. We offered our support, and volunteered with the kids one day. After we volunteered together, we brainstormed on how we could continue to partner together on our shared valued...this recycling program is what we came up with.

We simple call them every time we have a full bin of recyclables and they swing by and pick them up...it is usually about every other week considering the limited number of bottles that we have in our stores.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Hey Aaron,

Here is how it works!

We have Front of the House recycling fixtures that our customers drop their glass bottles in.

We collect and consolidate the bottles from each store and student volunteers from Gabrielino High School pick up the bottles and recycle them for CRV (California Refund Value).

We take all the money raised from CRV and purchase LifeStraws.

LifeStraws are personal water filtration devices that can provide clean water for one person for one year.

The LifeStraws are delivered to those that need them in Tanzania.

That is how it works!

Thanks for asking!

We are turning our glass bottles into access to Clean Water for our coffee growing region.
