VersAbility in Hampton wins 30 in 30

VersAbility Resources in Hampton has been awarded a $1,000 30 in 30 grant in the Recycling Category. Our Thirty Grants in 30 Days program focuses greater resources and attention on organizations and individual localities throughout the Commonwealth and how they are addressing the issues of litter prevention, recycling, waste reduction, beautification and education.

We provided the opportunity for government, non-profit and/or service organizations in Virginia to apply for one of our 30 in 30 grants of $500 to $1,000 in three different categories: Litter Prevention, Recycling, and Community Beautification. These grants are made possible by Lowe’s Charitable & Educational Foundation and MeadWestvaco.

VersAbility Resources is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting people with disabilities, and helping them to lead productive and fulfilling lives. They have created an electronics recycling program to safely dispose of/recycle e-waste while simultaneously creating jobs for the disabled. VersAbility Resources wants to expand this recycling program by providing additional collection bins throughout the Hampton Roads community. Not only is this program designed to increase recycling and reduce waste, but it involves community involvement and helping those with disabilities. VersAbility Resources is an organization that we are inspired by and can’t wait to help expand their e-waste recycling program.
