Spotted a Back to School barrel at the gym! Thank you 24e Gardendale! Look for a donation barrel near you! Or use our map: www.barrel.gkcbhm.org and let’s provide school supplies for children!

We need your cardboard!! To catch up on our cardboard baling goals we need to bale 400 bales in the next 3 months.

Talk about ambitious, but together we can!!

Any type cardboard accepted. All those cereal, Mac-n-cheese, soda, moving, Amazon.com boxes and whatever else you can keep out of the landfill.

We will use all boxes suitable for food distribution to give away food like paper ream, banana, and Chick-fil-A fry boxes.

Fun facts: If we provide food to 950,000 people in 2026, with all your box donations, we will distribute all the food we give away, without purchasing ANY boxes, for a savings of $200,000+ donor dollars.

Also, every ton of cardboard we sell gives $20, which we reallocate to purchase fresh produce for families, plus saving landfill costs, fuel to landfill and up to 5 years of decomposition at the landfill.

Reusing and recycling matters ♻️
