Milk Bags into Beds
Did you know that one child’s mat= 300 milk bags and an adult size mat = 600 milk bags. This means that a lot of milk has to be consumed before even one mat can be made. Spread the word, Shaar Shalom’s Social Action committee is collecting Plastic milk bags which will be converted into “yarn” and then crocheted into the mats. All you have to do is save the outer milk bags milk bags and make sure they’re clean and dry and drop them in the marked receptacle in the lobby at the shul outside the main floor cloak room. We will not only make sure that the bags are converted into a very useful product (mats to sleep on) but also prevent them from of going into the landfill.
