On October 16, Jericho Road representatives spoke at St. Andrews Episcopal School about a new and exciting opportunity to get involved! We are collecting used small electronics for Planet Green, a company which collects those items to recycle them, and will pay us for them! Not only is this a source of revenue for Jericho Road, it is also a really cool and easy way for outside parties to get directly involved with us. Additionally, these items are recycled, which is helpful for the environment! We are especially excited to partner with St. Andrews because we truly believe in the importance of showing children just how easy and rewarding it can be to be committed towards social justice. We can't wait to see where this partnership will take us! We would also like to take this opportunity to thank any members of Christ Church Cathedral, St Andrew's Church (New Orleans), and St Augustine's (New Orleans) who have donated in the past. We are so appreciative, and we hope that you will continue to do so going forward. If you are interested in getting involved with this opportunity, please feel free to contact Sydney Hubbard at (504) 895-2883 or at sydneyhubbard@jerichohousing.org.
