KEEP BRINGING YOUR USED PC CARTRIDGES TO HEALTH RESTORATION
We continue to raise funds for the Humane Society –  The small pc cartridges we are donating are worth around $1 and the large cartridges bring in $4 each  –  This continues to be a worthwhile project, saving the animals and the landfill as well.  The Humane Society truly appreciates your efforts!  This is a year round project!  We just turned in another 80 cartridges!  Great job – keep them coming – unfortunately, the need never goes away!
