2020 Warrick County School Supply Recycling Challenge
This event was cancelled due to the school closure during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Blueggs decided to keep going and collect used school supplies to help children in need. Given an assumption that the unemployment rate could rise, this community is more likely to have more parents who have to face financial challenges. We’d like to help in any way that we can.
We placed recycling bins at John H. Castle and Chandler Elementary. Please use these recycling bins and donate used/unused supplies.
After sorting, cleaning and sanitizing the collected items, we will donate unused school supplies to children in need in partnership with the God Is Good Foundation Newburgh. We donate gently used school supplies to local teachers by using Facebook. We will also recycle used crayons to raise money for local teachers [Teacher Supplies $100 Grant Program].

By collecting used/unused school supplies from John. H. Castle and Chandler Elementary School. We attempt
-
To advance recycling and reduce waste generation in Warrick County
-
To support children in need in Warrick County
-
To support teachers in Warrick County.
-
To create opportunities for children to become agents of positive change in our community
-
To build a stronger community by working with many organizations in Warrick County
There are as many as 3,219 students in Warrick County who qualify for free/reduced price meals in the 2018-19 school year (IDOE). With partnership with God Is Good Foundation, we support children in need in our community with school supplies.
All unused/new school supplies were donated to God Is Good Foundation.
- Teachers are always in need of school supplies. After cleaning the school supplies we collected, we donate them to local teachers.
Items were donated to teachers at Yankeetown Elementary School, Boonville Middle School, and Chandler Elementary School.
- We also try to support teacher’s education spending through Teacher Supplies $100 Grant Program. This year, five teachers received the grant [2020 Grant Recipients].
Our first annual event was a huge success!
Thanks to you, we were able to divert over 300 pounds of waste from landfills, donate hundreds of new/unused school supplies to help children in need in Warrick County, help local teachers with more than a thousand of gently used school supplies, and create opportunities for children to become agents of positive change in our community.
