Community Building

We all remember the sense of a small town community that existed long ago, when people felt more interdependent. With some thought and effort, we can help our community (and the world) at little actual cost to our pocketbooks. Some ideas along this line are given below.

Save Shaw's register receipts:
FOSI is collecting Shaw's receipts and receives 1% back when they are submitted to Shaw's Corporate offices. This money is being used to help equip the new Center building. There is a collection box at the main desk at The Center.
Shaw's receipts are also being collected by the Medfield Afterschool Program (MAP) and the Medfield Animal Shelter. So please don't throw Shaw's receipts away!
Medfield Food Cupboard
Shaw's "Points" can be donated at the Shaw's store in Medfield. The Food Cupboard also welcomes purchased non-perishable goods; there is a collection bin in the store. The Medfield Food Cupboard is housed at the United Church of Christ in Medfield.

Boxtops for Education
Boxtops for Education are found on General Mills, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Ziplock, Scott/Kleenex and numerous other products. Each Boxtop symbol is worth 10 cents to the school, up to $20,000 per year. More information on this program is found at boxtops4education.com. In Medfield, the Dale Street School, 45 Adams Street, collects Boxtops and uses the money for library purchases.
If you choose not to give Boxtops directly to the school or to family/neighborhood children to take in, you can give them to Judy Lorantos at The Center, and they will be turned in to Dale Street School. Happy reading to the children. 
Recycle books
A collection bin for gotbooks.com is at the Medfield Transfer Station.
A collection bin for books is also at the entrance to the Shaw's parking lot. 

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle - words to live by! Share what you can with your community.
