Siemens Caring Hands Day at Your ReSource

Recently, the Siemens Caring Hands Foundation identified the CARE Program at Your ReSource as the site for their annual volunteer work day, which brings together employees of Siemens and their local community. When selecting projects, the Caring Hands Foundation looks at the criteria of sustainability, reliability and long-term significance. The CARE Program qualified because these principles are the focus of our daily operation.

Your ReSource Collaborates with local college for Dump & Run pilot program

In May, Your ReSource completed our first Dump & Run program at The College of New Jersey. Dump & Run is a waste prevention program modeled after a national initiative that helps residential high school and college students donate (not dump) lightly used furnishings and personal items before leaving campus each spring. The program is designed to help educate students about the environmental, economic and social impact from their decisions to throw away no-longer-needed materials during the school year and spring move-out.

This year, our pilot project targeted two dormitories with 1000 students. Over 500 lbs of clothing, shoes, household items and nonperishable food were collected from participating students, many of whom commented that they appreciated the program because thy did not like throwing perfectly useable items away. All collected items were donated to local shelters and food pantries.
