Bottles Can Advocate
Your bottles and cans provide advocacy for those who deal with situational anxieties, invisible disabilities, and sensory health concerns.
Once a month, we will ask you to alert us if you have any Bottles and Cans, that you would like us to pick up for the cause of
A-NOD, and then we will demonstrate how many bottles and can came in on our website
Feeling Bottled Up, You Can Be The Difference
Life presents us with various pressures, and it’s completely understandable that we often seek comfort through buying, eating, or drinking as a way to cope. These quick fixes may provide temporary relief, but the pressures can quickly return, leaving us feeling overwhelmed. As we think about the beverages we consume, we should also consider what happens to the bottles and cans we accumulate. Many people choose to recycle these items for cash, which can feel like a small victory.
But what if there’s a way to extend that victory to others who are also grappling with their own challenges? Imagine finishing a beverage and choosing to recycle that bottle or can, donating the proceeds to A-NOD. This simple act can support our mission to create safe sensory spaces that offer support to those navigating the pressures of life. Your choice can truly help ease the burdens of others struggling through difficult moments.
It’s important to acknowledge that many of us may feel bottled up and uncertain at times. Yet, even in those moments, there is strength in seeking resources to help cope and, at the same time, offering support to others. This act of kindness is not just meaningful—it’s vital, especially in the world we live in today.
Thank you for being present in this space; your presence matters immensely. You have already made an impact on the lives of others, and we see and appreciate your efforts. It’s clear that this message resonates with you. Even on days when you feel depleted, there’s a part of you that strives to shine brightly for others, allowing God's glory to inspire and uplift. This transformational grace can exceed any momentary relief we seek through our purchases.
Now is the perfect opportunity to take action and create a positive ripple effect that goes beyond yourself. Many individuals face mental health challenges, autism, and sensory health concerns—struggles that no one should have to navigate alone. Thankfully, there are advocates and resources available to help. By choosing to donate your recyclables, you can provide much-needed support that benefits the entire community.
If you feel compelled to make a difference, please reach out to A-NOD. You can email letyourlightshine or text Diane at 515-321-8671 for someone to pick up your recyclables and donate the funds to support A-NOD’s important mission. Together, we can create a brighter future and support one another in meaningful ways. Thank you for considering this opportunity to help.
