Cans for Change is a recycling drive to raise money for our trip. From now until June, we will be collecting aluminum cans and plastic bottles and turning them in at a recycling center for coins.

Just drop off your cans, and we will do the rest! For those of you who attend the Mosaic Whittier's Sunday gatherings, there will be a large box in the Artisan building where you can put your recyclables. For those of you near Biola, you can drop your cans and bottles off with Matt McKirland (Biola Professional Building, Biola Youth) or Christa McKirland (Biola campus, Office of the Registrar). Every week, we will be making trips to the recycling center.

Every Pepsi and Coke can, Gatorade bottle, and Dasani water bottle (all cans and bottles less than 24oz will work) will give us 5 cents, and every 2-liter ginger ale and Hawaiian Punch bottle and every other glass or plastic bottle over 24oz will give us 10 cents. It may not sound like much, but if you go through a 12-pack or two of soda and a couple 2-liters in your house per week, then that is $.75 to $1.50 per week and about $3.50 to $6.75 a month that could go toward our trip. If 20 people a month helped us out, then we could get $70 to $135 a month and more than $500 before we leave in June!

So, save your soda cans and Gatorade bottles, because every little bit helps!
