We marked our third anniversary on International Literacy Day - September 8th with the kick-off of a KinderHarvest magazine recycling partnership at the Whole Foods Markets in West Windsor, New Jersey, near Princeton. The Whole Foods Market in Brighton, just outside of Boston, Massachusetts has also started their KinderHarvest drive, with more stores on the way.
The events where a huge success with lots of magazines collected from consumers that will be given to new readers in nearby homeless and domestic violence shelters, and in other local literacy programs. Here the magazines are going to HomeFront, the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen (TASK), and other shelters and pantries.
The bins will remain in the stores so that shoppers can drop off their magazines year-round.
