Fundraising

Cans for the Co-op

Bring your "CA CRV redemption" (California Redemption Value) recyclables (most often plastic, glass or aluminum bottled or canned water, soda, drinks, or small juice bottles) to Noah's Ark. Leave them in the side yard by the dumpsters, and our volunteer will recycle them for cash.

Change for the Co-op 
Just drop your change in the canister  at the register at Noah's.
