Shoes, cans taken to benefit others

Crittenden County 4-H will be collecting aluminum cans from 9 a.m. to noon Saturday on West Carlisle Street between Farmers Bank & Trust Co. and the courthouse to help fund 4-H projects. Cans can be picked up if arrangements are made prior to Saturday by calling (270) 965-5236.

Meantime, the county’s Extension service will be accepting shoes to donate to the WaterStep program to help purchase clean drinking water equipment for underdeveloped countries. Please place shoes in plastic grocery bags or put a rubber band around them.

After Saturday, cans and shoes can be dropped off at the county’s road garage on U.S. 60 east of Marion.
