This week's donations support IV YEA and their continued commitment to our local youth.

Looking for a simple way to give back to our local community? Your empty bottles and cans can make a meaningful difference in our community

When you donate through Cans for Kids, your contributions help support the Illinois Valley Youth Enrichment Association, also known as IV YEA. Their mission is: to enrich the lives of our youth by instilling in them a sense of pride, self-worth, and the importance of community.

Every bottle and can adds up. Every donation helps provide opportunities, programs, and support for youth throughout the Illinois Valley and surrounding communities.

Please consider donating your bottles and cans through Cans for Kids and help support IV YEA's ongoing efforts to make a positive difference for local children and families.

Together, we can invest in our youth, strengthen our community, and help create a brighter future for the Illinois Valley.

💙 This Week’s Cans for Kids Beneficiary: Boys & Girls Club! 💙

Every can and bottle you recycle this week through Cans for Kids helps support the incredible work of the Boys & Girls Club.

The Boys & Girls Club provides a safe, welcoming place where young people can learn, grow, build friendships, and develop the skills they need to succeed. From after-school programs to enriching activities and caring mentors, they’re making a lasting difference in the lives of local youth every day.

It’s easy to help! Simply donate your redeemable cans and bottles through the Cans for Kids program, and together we’ll turn recycling into opportunities for kids in our community.

Thank you for helping us support the organizations that make the Illinois Valley a stronger place for everyone.
