G & M Distributors, Inc. announced today that during the month of September, its recycling center will donate 1¢ per pound of aluminum cans recycled to the Habitat for Humanity program. Habitat for Humanity is a Christian organization that helps low-income families build their own homes. The philosophy of Habitat is that the economically disadvantaged need capital, not charity, and co-workers, not caseworkers, in order to obtain a decent house in a decent community. Current Habitat projects are: Project #46, located at 718 Abingdon St., Galesburg, and Project #47, 619 S. Pearl St., Galesburg.
G & M has been operating its recycling center since 1973. Recycling hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and on Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 noon.
