Working Together to Make a Better,
Cleaner, Greener Community |
GIVING TUESDAY 2020 - Dec. 2, 2020 While Sustainable Tallahassee has led tree planting efforts in the past, including 100 oaks several years ago at the J.R. Alford Greenway, Olivia’s donation sparked the desire to make this a recurring event. Thus was born Olivia’s Tree Fund. This year we raised $1,000 that will be used to match donations to this fund. Its focus will be on tree planting, habitat restoration, and similar beautification projects in the Tallahassee area. |

Our Rags2Bags Team is Making Face Masks |
Here's how you can make face masks while socially distancing
in your own home:
If you have used T-shirts, they are needed to make liners for Face Masks. The T-shirt fabric should be freshly washed and cut into 6" x 9" rectangles and batched into sets of ten. Omit any fabric that has printing on it. The pick-up / drop-off time and place is: |

You can drop off without needing to leave your car. |
Here are two videos that will guide you through the mask making process, created by Pam Doffek and Mike Mitchell:
