Fun event on the Plaza! Bartholomew County Solid Waste District
Thank you to the Bartholomew County Solid Waste District for sharing a great article about the importance of donating clothing! Clothing that is in good, reusable condition is placed in our store where it will either be sold for a low price or given away free of charge to community members in need.
Like other places mentioned in this article, clothing that Sans Souci receives that can't or doesn't sell gets recycled! ♻️ Our commitment to recycling not only reduces waste from going to landfills, but recycling serves as a source of income for Sans Souci, which supports our mission of helping others live life "without worry!"
