We spent the month supporting Relay for Life (American Cancer Society). We had a bakesale, recycling collection, raffles, jail-and-bail, restaurant fundraisers, etc. We started a lending library in our store where customers can give and take books for free. We collected trash in the woods by a local creek. We packed food at the largest emergency food bank in our county. We started recycling whip cream chargers, cell phones, rechargable batteries, sneakers, coffee bags, and scrap metal. And we had fun!

I had a great time this month in April giving back to our local communities! On April 10th, worked on the Motor City Blight Buster event, helping to build urban farming in Detroit. April 21st help clean up Belle Isle and knocked out some invasive honeysuckle. April 24th worked in the Capuchin Soup Kitchen helping and connecting with local people in Detroit. April 28th help lead the MS walk in Bloomfield Hills and raise awareness in hopes of finding a cure for MS. Today ended the month with the March of Dimes walk for babies in Troy. I enjoyed working with other partners and getting to know new partners and customers though these events while helping others out!

Wow! Today I have joined an Earth Day 2012 project that (so far) has 122 partners signed up. We will be working in our National ZOO in Washington DC. Partners are from all over the place, it will be huge and I have never been a part of a big project like this. How cool is this?

I can't wait!

We are conducting a book drive and volunteering to clean books that will be redistributed through the community.

Hey everyone!

Man. As a company sounds like we are (like always) going above and beyond this month!

My area (Sacramento, CA) has been involved with multiple food banks and shelters. Sorting, prepping and serving those in need. Just last week we had a river clean up day - so cold and muddy but awesome! This weekend we have multiple events so I am sure we will be spread thin! We are currently collecting funds for our May "walk for wishes" and donations for the SPCA. My team alone has had reading events for local libraries and collected and packed items for the Lukemia and Lymphoma society. Next week we have all committed to showing our Nor CAL pride and attending the huge SF event on the 28th.

I think this month has really pushed us as a team and I am excited to keep it going throughout the year, not just this month! But I will say how amazing it has been and seeing all the green shirts everywhere as we leave our mark on the community!

Our district (Rockville and Gaithersburg stores, MD) will be cleaning the Crabbs Branch Park on April 14th (part of the Rock Creek Park). This cleanup is a part of the Extreme Cleanup of the Alice Fergusson Potomac River Watershed cleanup. We are cleaning up just a portion of this this huge area, there are going to be many teams making sure that the trash does not get into the Potomac River which is a source of water supply for the Greater Washington DC area. Both partners and customers will be part of the event.

For those who can't make it to this event we have an alternative event on April 19th, we will be sorting food donations at our local Manna Food Center.

Happy volunteering!
