Volunteers of Minis and Friends , have been earning CASH for our Equine Guided Interaction Programs by participating in the FundingFactory Recycling Program. They collect empty laser and inkjet cartridges and used cell phones from the community and send the waste products to FundingFactory for recycling.

On Saturday, March 28th from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM, volunteers will be collecting use cartridges and old cell phones at the Church of Latter Day Saints near Oltorf and Parker Lane. Minis and Friends has been supporting the greater Austin Metro Area for the past couple of years by taking trained miniature horses into communities, nursing homes, shelters, and schools to interact with children, adults, and elders

dealing with emotional, physical and mental disabilities or difficulties. While everyone is feeling the effects of a tougher economy, this is a great opportunity to give back at no cost to you.

Companies interested in demonstrating a commitment to education and the environment can participate free of charge in the FundingFactory Business Support Program. FundingFactory will send each supporting business FREE prepaid shipping labels for the return of collected cartridges and cell phones. By donating to Minis and Friends, businesses help keep bulky laserjet and ink cartridges or used cell phones from piling up in local landfills and help a local non-profit organization continue to take its miniature horses throughout Travis, Williamson and Hays county to the people who need a

little sunshine and happiness in their lives.

Community and business supporters should come by and drop off cartridges and cell phones at the Church of Latter Day Saints at 2111 Parker Lane on March 28th from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM. We will have several miniature horses onsite for our monthly Volunteer Training session. Bring the children out with your donations and have their picture taken with one of our minis.
