Shellbrook Kinsmen ‘Crush it” for Telemiracle

After a huge response last year the Shellbrook Kinsmen Club is bringing back the “Crush It” for Telemiracle program.

This year the club ahs doubled its capacity by placing a pair of garbage bins, donated by TJ Disposals, for the collection of cardboard and plastic milk containers at the Shellbrook Elementary School, just off the corner of Third Avenue East and Main Street.

Containers collected will be taken to Sarcan before the end of February to help top up the organization’s donation to Telemiracle.  Through the “Crush it” program Sarcan contributes $350 for every metric tonne of plastic jugs and $150 for every tonne of paper milk cartons to the cause.

To get involved, deposit washed and crushed cardboard and plastic milk containers in the bin.

The bin for milk containers will be at the elementary school until February 29.

The project will kick off the official Telemiracle 36 fund raising in the community.

In addition to the Kinsmen emptying the bin and hauling the milk containers to Sarcan the Kinsmen and Kinettes plan to distribute Telemiracle “Helping Hands” to businesses and schools and conduct the annual town canvass in the later part of February.
