Donate for Earth Day

When we think of how to combat climate change, big ideas like eliminating the use of paper or launching vast fleets of electric vehicles often come to mind. But environmental sustainability comes in many shapes and sizes. And you can help make a difference.

Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center is partnering with Goodwill Southern California to host Donate for Earth Day on April 20, 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center, 1011 Baldwin Park Blvd., Baldwin Park, CA 91706

Please bring personal e-waste, clothing, shoes, kitchenware, books, games, home goods, etc. E-waste includes anything with a plug or batteries, working or not.

“A decade ago we began our annual e-waste and collection drive as a way to assist the communities we serve and contribute to efforts aimed at preventing harmful elements from getting into local landfills,” explains David Wei, Manager, Environmental Health & Safety, Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center. “These activities in honor of Earth Day are part of Kaiser Permanente’s multifaceted approach to environmental stewardship, which includes expanding our use of solar energy to reduce our use of fossil fuels and to create healthier environments.”

Help care for the environment and transform the lives of individuals with disabilities and disadvantages with your tax-deductible donations. Receipts will be provided. For more information, visit GoodwillSoCal.org.
