♻️ McConnell Youth Center Upcycle Initiative

Give everyday items a second life — and support creativity at Carlisle Barracks CYS!

The McConnell Youth Center is launching an exciting Upcycle Initiative, and we need your help to turn reusable materials into imaginative, hands‑on projects for our youth. By donating simple household items, you’re helping us reduce waste, spark creativity, and empower young minds to explore new ways to repurpose everyday materials.

🌟 What We’re Collecting

• Can Tabs — Great for crafts, jewelry, and creative builds

• Bread Tabs — Small pieces with big upcycling potential

• Socks — Old but clean; perfect for repurposed projects

• Clothes — Gently used or clean items for creative reuse

• Books — In good condition to share the joy of reading

Every donation helps our youth learn, create, and make a positive impact on the environment.
