Thank You To Our Volunteers!

Kathy and Jake dropping off Starbucks Recycling.
Thank you Jake & Kathy!!

Everyday we have wonderful people in our town that are going around collecting "milk containers" and bringing them to the depot! This campaign could not be run without our many supporters and volunteers! Our committee appreciates the sacrifice that each one is making to help make campaign this a huge success! We have over 40 volunteers alone who pick up at our different locations / just as many teachers who organize sorting and keeping track of the collection / plus hundreds of children who each day are faithful to bring in their milk containers from home!

Thank you to Everyone!

Thank you to Starbucks for faithfully giving their milk containers to this wonderful cause everyday!!

Remember to get your fill of "calf-ine" and support Milk It For Mully!!
