Help Some Crafty Kids With Your Recyclables

Our Early Intervention Programs (Healthy Families and Family Connections) are looking for some craft supplies to use as learning tools for toddlers.

These are common household items you may have stored in a cupboard, or they may be destined for the recycling bin….bring them in to us instead and we’ll turn them into educational tools for curious kids!

You can drop off these items at either our Valparaiso or Portage offices:

253 W. Lincolnway, Valparaiso 464-9585
6469 Central Avenue, Portage 763-6623

• Clean margarine tubs
  
• Clean cottage cheese containers
  
• Clean plastic ice cream tubs with lids
  
• Small plastic bottles with wide mouths (milk quarts, coffee creamers, etc.)
