Bottle Drive Fundraiser for Young Local Cancer Patients
Bottle returns at the Millbrook Farm & Pet Supply have begun on a limited basis. The proceeds of bottle return donations are being shared equally between Kieran and Conner.
To adhere to COVID restrictions, empty returns can either be dropped at the store, or staff will make arrangements to have them picked up if required. Returns for donations can be left on the skids in the parking lot and the proceeds are directed to both boys. All returns must come through the front parking lot at the Center St. entrance and only one return customer is allowed in the store at a time, entering through the steel doors and exiting through the glass door. As of Monday, July 27th, the outlet has collected $200 in donations.
