Two For One! Support Shriners and Heifer by Donating Recyclables: Bag the soda cans and bottles from your summer parties...and then put them in the corner of Riley Hall in the cardboard box with the big cow! We remove the tabs from the cans. The tabs are sent to the local Masons who turn the scrap metal into cash for the Shriners’ health projects. Funds from redeeming the cans are sent to Heifer Project to assist those in need throughout the world.
