Goddard Celebrates America Recycles Day

For the sixth year, GSFC will recognize America Recycles Day (ARD). A Center event will be held on Wednesday, November 20th in the Bldg. 8 auditorium from 10:30 a.m. until 1 p.m. Featured events will be recycled content products from store stock vendors, property management will auction five computer systems at 11:30 (you must come earlier to preview and register as a buyer), a recycled craft workshop, and there will be Center recycling exhibits and information. We will have very special guests from the Goddard Child Development Center with their art work on display. We will also be taking food donations for the Harvest for the Hungry program.
