The Salina Drive-thru Recycling Center (SDRC) is hosting a special holiday donation drive, “Go Green & Give!,” to support the Salina Emergency Aid Food Bank and the Salina Animal Shelter. The event will occur on Saturday, November 23, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., inviting community members to recycle and donate in one convenient stop at the SDRC, located at 125 West North Street.
Volunteers from the Food Bank and Animal Shelter will be on-site, allowing donors to drive through to drop off items from their vehicles. The Food Bank is seeking non-perishable holiday foods, such as instant potatoes, canned vegetables, gravy, and stuffing, to help local families celebrate the season with hearty meals. The Animal Shelter, meanwhile, needs dog and cat treats, Kong chew toys, pill pockets, paper towels, and food, all aimed at enriching the lives of animals awaiting adoption.
For those who haven’t yet visited the SDRC, this event is a perfect chance to see how the center operates and to learn more about its services. The City of Salina encourages residents to “Go Green & Give!” this holiday season, promoting environmental responsibility and community support for needy families and pets.
