Social Action Spotlight

 Give Your Prescription Pill Bottles a Second Life

Here’s how you can help:

·  Collect your empty prescription bottles (any size) with their caps.
·  Remove the labels if you’d like (soaking in hot, soapy water helps!), or we’ll take care of it for you.
·  Make sure bottles are clean and dry. Replace the cap.
·  Please drop them off in the RST lobby.

Let’s keep these containers out of the landfill and put them in the hands of those who need them most.

 Nonprofit Spotlight
Every Cure “We are deeply passionate about uncovering repurposed drugs for patients who are suffering while there is a drug sitting at their neighborhood pharmacy, and want to scale drug repurposing to help each and every patient who may benefit by using an already existing drug.”

 Toiletry Donations
Toiletry donations are a great way to support individuals and families in need. Please donate feminine hygiene products, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, deodorant, and more to help individuals experiencing homelessness, housing insecurity, or other challenges. Donations of both full-sized and travel-sized items are greatly appreciated.
