Recycle Your Greeting Card Fronts

For the fifth year, GEWA will be sponsoring greeting card recycling with some voluntter help form Code 205.2. The last five years Goddard employees donated over 600 pounds of greeting card fronts. It is estimated that 1 million extra tons of waste are produced each week drung the holiday season in the U.S. which ultimately means dollars expended for disposal of waste.

In addition to reducing waste, this card-recycling project has a charitable benefit. Cards are sent to St. Jude's Ranch for Children, a licensed, nonprofit, nonsectarian, professionally supervised childcare facility in Nevada. It is dedicated to helping abused, neglected and troubled children and teens from across the country. By donating card fronts to the ranch, the children make recycled card which are sold and the profits go to the St. Jude's Ranch for Children.

Now through Jan 10 you can send your greeting card fronts, regardless the occasion of the cards (birthday, wedding, or holidays) to Code 035. Please cut off the backs of the card and send only the fronts.
