Edlynn's Recyle & Rejoice Project
*************************Our Mission*************************
Recycle and Rejoice! Through this project, we will not only help the environment by minimizing the size of landfills and minimizing pollution, and conserve Natural Resources, we will help fight hunger, poverty in Los Angeles/Manila, Philippines by assisting those in need. We will fill emptiness caused by hunger with Food, Clothing, Assistance and Hope.
*************************The process*************************
Recyclable materials will be recycled. Take a picture of your bag/bags. Donate the money you recycled. Your name will be listed. Now REJOICE for helping the environment while helping the homeless individuals!
If you choose to simply donate, we will utilize the donation to purchase BIODEGRADABLE items for the homeless individuals in the Los Angeles area/Manila, Philippines.
Trial-Run Date: January 2021 until 2nd week of November 2021. *SUCCESS! Reached over $500 of our goal!*
Second-year: January 2022 until 2nd week of November 2022. Focused on raising money to accumulate enough to purchase canned goods(corned beef, spam etc) to send to the Philippines. (Will continue to November 2024)
**************FUND GOAL: $1000 by end of November 2025**************
How will we use the $1000 collected from all the donations?
Upon meeting the $1000 goal by the end of the second week of November, we will visit 99cents store/Power Dollar/Dollar Tree* at a nearby location in Los Angeles and we will spend at least $1000 to gather basic necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrush, face towel, wipes, mouthwash, socks, shirts, etc. (we haven't figured out the list of items that will be placed in a small recycleable bag to be given to homeless individuals around the Los Angeles Area) The receipt will be uploaded to the website, pictures of the goods purchased will be posted, and with the permission of individuals who are given the bag of items will be posted on the site as well.
**Update** Biodegradable/recycleable basic necessities will be purchased from specific online retailer that sell recyclable/biodegradable items!**
Why am I doing this?
I was born in the Philippines and lived in an area where poverty is common. I came to the U.S. when I was only 7 years-old and it was definitely a new world! As a young child, I thought Americans lived more of a better life than those living in the Philippines. Oh boy, was I wrong! We have fellow Americans living in poverty...living in tents! Unbelievable!
So, to answer THAT question- I simply want to give back to the community and provide a slight bit of joy to individuals who cannot afford the basic necessities during the holidays (Thanksgiving/Christmas). I am hoping more people will help and give back to the community!
