Egg Update & Cartons Wanted!

Jennica — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:29:45 +0000

Hi everyone- good news! Erin’s Girl Scout Gold Award project has been accepted and Erin has received word she will be awarded the Gold Award in a ceremony later this year when she’s home from college.

Erin’s Eggs continues to provide eggs to feeding programs. At this point, she’s provided over 500 dozen in the last 11 months to four organizations, including Harvest House. If a dozen can make a protein-rich dinner for four, that’s about 2000 times somebody didn’t go hungry!

Donations tend to slack off in the winter months when non-commercial hens tend to lay less. But this week is booming and we will have about 30 dozen to distribute over the next week or so, and we are out of cartons. We rely on donated cartons because it keeps them out of landfills, and they are free! Erin’s Eggs is a no-cash charity so we don’t purchase cartons.

Can you please save your egg cartons for us? We will pick up on Sundays if you leave them in the corner of the vestibule on the end of the bench.

Many Thanks!
Cindy, Dan, Erin, and “the Ladies Who Lay”
