The Power Is Yours - Be an everyday Hero

Get involved. Be an Everyday Hero. Volunteering or donating is a great way to show that you support and care for your community.
  • Work on a school recycling project
  • Pick up litter around your neighborhood
  • Do your part , means doing more than just throwing away a candy wrapper
  • Spreading the word, that it is just as important as volunteering at a cleanup or recycling at home
