Mission Recycle is People’s City Mission’s recycling program. Over the last several years, the Mission has been asking the community to donate all of their used items that they no longer need to the Homeless Prevention Center (NOW at 26th and O Street). The HPC then turns those donations over to families within our community that are living at or near the poverty line. People that qualify for this assistance can shop the HPC on a weekly basis for second hand items like clothing, household goods and furniture.

Often there are items donated that can’t be reused but can be recycled. This is where Mission Recycle comes in! Items like used clothing and shoes (along with plastic and cardboard) are collected, baled and shipped to vendors that will pay the Mission for these raw materials. The money that the recyclables return to the Mission is used to underwrite the costs of running the outreach at the Homeless Prevention Center.

Truly, there is very little that the Mission can’t use to further support the less fortunate of our community! Please remember this the next time you have items you are ready to throw away. Those items just might be the answer to one of your neighbor’s problems.

For more information about Mission Recycle please call Amy Cink at the HPC at 475-6888. Or please feel free to drop off your next load of clothes and other recyclables at the HPC at 26th and O Street.
