Celebrate Earth Day and Support the Partnership

Earth Day 2008 will be celebrated throughout our community on Tuesday, April 22nd, and it is easy being green! Being a good steward of our environmental resources is as easy as turning off lights when not in use, carpooling when possible, and buying products made with recycled packaging. But did you know that you can "go green" and support the Partnership at the same time? That's right! You can help the area's largest social-service agency in two ways:

• Donate your used and unwanted cell phone year-round to the Partnership to be recycled or refurbished and keep them out of landfills! Just drop your phone and battery off at any Partnership office location, including 1800 McCallie Ave. or 300 E. 8th Street in Chattanooga. All phones received are turned into funds that support the Partnership's Family Violence Shelter and Services. Call (423) 697-3829 to find out more.

• Become an ePartner and upgrade your Partnership quarterly newsletter subscription to be emailed to you, instead of sent through the mail. You'll save paper, postage, and a trip for the mailman while still getting the latest Partnership news. Simply send your email address to lgilder@partnershipfca.com with Email My Newsletters! in the subject field.

The Partnership would also like to say a special "Thanks!" to community partner Greenlife Grocery for helping raise money for the Partnership's Family Violence Shelter & Services through their Donate a Bag campaign. They raised over $300 by asking customers to bring their own shopping bag and/or donate one back to the store. This helped to save nearly 6,000 bags! Thanks, Greenlife, for supporting the Partnership.
