ALEXANDRIA — The Alexandria Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors recognized three local businesses on Wednesday, Jan. 12.
Philip Kraft is the executive director of a new nonprofit in Alexandria, Cardboard Cares. The organization receives recycled cardboard from many local businesses and packages it to be recycled. The money earned goes towards art supplies and classes for youth.
The Cardboard Cares team works out of the Alex Rubbish building and has a bin there for the public to drop off cardboard. Find out how to donate your cardboard and learn more at cardboardcares.org .
