It may not quite feel like summer yet, but extended summer hours have returned to the transfer stations. Through your continued support with your donations of returnable beverage containers at our return depot at the Eveleigh Transfer Station in Port Carling, we are able to continue to support the community in many ways. We help feed the community through the West Muskoka Foodbank, and provide funds for meals at Andy's House Muskoka Hospice. We have given emergency funding to individuals and families in immediate need. We support specialised camps for kids and adults. We support South Muskoka Hospital. Our local youth benefit from our support through the school, sports organisations, funding for post secondary education. And of course, we serve the community by providing fun events like Winterfest, the Easter Egg hunt, and the golf tournament. All this, and more, is accomplished with funds garnered through donations from you, whether it be by supporting our fundraising efforts, or outright dollar donations. An easy and ongoing way to donate is to bring your 'empties' to the return depot at the Eveleigh Transfer Station, affectionately know as 'Byron's Bottleworks'. Keep them coming!
(P.S. ... we get a better dollar return rate if the cans are not crushed/flattened! Thank you!)
