The first can and bottle collection was indeed successful! I'm wishing I had taken a few pictures to document it! There were three of us...Liz, Ashley, and me (Hannah couldn't come today)...and we covered three long streets in my subdivision. We got a total of $36.20, so we were pretty happy about that. :) Unfortunately we stopped for a food/water break a couple hours into the collection and didn't have time to collect from any more streets. Praise God for wonderful weather though (we had a nice, cool breeze the whole time) and for everyone who opened their hearts (and their doors!) to donate their cans and bottles. :) We'll be finishing up the rest of the subdivision on Saturday morning, so I'm looking forward to that. At work tonight one of my co-workers donated an extra $11.50 worth of cans and bottles that she had at home. All together that's 477 bottles, or $47.70! Not bad for the first day.
Keep praying that God keeps providing!
