Saint Vincent de Paul Scrap Metal Collection
Parishioners, can you help us? Do you have any old gardening tools, old appliances (washer, dryer, dishwasher, air conditioners), a computer that no longer works, outdoor lights, TV's (that don't have the glass tubes ) or old metal lawn furniture? How about metal auto parts, plumbing fixtures, electrical wires, aluminum cans? If so, can you set them aside, until Saturday, April 13th? Saint Vincent de Paul is partnering with Heavenly Haulers, to help support the operational costs of Bountiful Blessings. If you have a large appliance that needs to be picked up, you can make arrangements with Heavenly Haulers, at a later date. For those who may want to get rid of a computer and are concerned about safeguarding information, you can either wipe the computer yourself, or let Heavenly Haulers take a sledge hammer to the hard drive! Pole Barn at Saint Patrick Church, 85 Marsh Drive. This will be the ONLY drop off location. Questions? Please contact Carol Culbertson at mcculbertson@comcast.net
