Keep Mission Beautiful and partners raise funds to restore local recycling center
Summary
Leaders said a Leadership Mission class project raised funds and partnered with Keep Mission Beautiful, municipal sanitation and the Rio Grande Valley Development Council to rebuild a local recycling center the group says fills a demonstrated need.
Mario Cantu described a Leadership Mission class project to restore a local recycling center, saying organizers raised funds with community support and partnered with Keep Mission Beautiful, municipal sanitation and the Rio Grande Valley Development Council. "We were able to gather up a really good amount of money fundraising," Cantu said, describing the partnership to rebuild the facility.
