DISH DRIVE EVENT

In an effort to reduce, recycle and reuse, the City of Santa Rosa is collecting extra dishes to establish a Dish Bank. This effort would eliminate the use of paper products at various United Way fund drive luncheons.

We will be collecting Glass/Ceramic Average Size Dinner Plates (10"), Glass/Ceramic Coffee Mugs, Plastic Tumblers and Stainless Steel Silverware. We are also asking for donations of milk crates to transport the dishes.

If you have any items to donate, please contact Jann Trumbly at jtrumbly@srcity.org or (707) 543-3935. Thank you for your support!
