They are both clients of Sunflower Diversified Services, and through employment in the recycling program they have been able to achieve a level of independence that includes living in their own homes. - photo by Veronica Coons
Editor’s note: Profits from the sale of raw recyclables may be down, but optimism is up at Sunflower Diversified. The non-profit is looking for ways to fill a gap in funding that resulted from recent Chinese tariffs on these items. One solution, increasing the amount of items accepted, will translate into more opportunity for Sunflower clients.
