I cut out all the labels for education that are on the groceries we buy (cereal boxes, soup cans, etc.) We recently moved to the area, and unfortunately, the middle school near our house does not want them and my son has not started school yet, so I am not sure what to do with them. I hate to just throw them out as it is free money for schools. Does anyone know what schools (or other charities) can/will use all of these labels? Thanks.
Where are you located - maybe someone can pick them up? I know what you're talking about because I have plenty to send to school when it starts up again. - Becky
I know that St. Symphorosa School, 6135 South Austin Avenue, Chicago, IL 60638. It would be great if you could send them to the school.
I'm sure any parent of a school child would gladly take them! My daughters school collects those. And with school starting right around the corner, how perfect to go back with a headstart on box tops!
St. Benedict's Church at Irving Park and Leavitt has a box for them in the back of the church.
How thoughtful of you not to want them to go to waste.
Good Luck!
I would give them to the school your son will attend for Kindergarten. If he attends daycare or preschool, check to see if they accept them. Many libraries accept them as well.
Then there's Freecycle.org. I place ads all the time for Labels for Education. Many people clip them for donation like yourself and don't need them specifically for their neighboring school. Freecycle.org is a egroup via Yahoo Groups where what you don't need might be good for someone else. There may also be things you need that someone else is giving away. This in turn keeps the landfills cleaner.
Best of luck to you and your growing family!
Hi M.!
I live in Roselle and our children attend Medinah Christian School and we could put them to good use if you want I'll pay to mail them to me. Let me know. ____@____.com

try your public library
Any local elementary school would probably take them.
M.,
Go onto your local districts web site and click lables for education, it will tell you what schools take them and which ones don't. If there isn't a link for that, call the district office. I'm sure you would like to keep the money in the district your son will attend....
Hi M.,
I'm not sure what schools would use them in your area.
My sister is a second grade teacher for a charter school here in Chicago and I collect them for her so if you are unable to find a school to give them I'm sure her school could use. She just started there so I don't have her school's info to give you right now.
Here is my email ____@____.com
Congratulations on your pregnancy and best wishes!

I will take them! My son avidly cllects them. His class won an ice cream party last year by collecting the most labels.
email me at ____@____.com if you want to mail them to me!
I am not too sure about the area you live in but there maybe some school in the area that will be starting to except them. I collect them too. Both Box tops for education and the campbells. peppridge farm stuff,ect. Usually when the school year starts they will collect them with in a month or so. You can also try the local park district and library. I hope this helps.
Many public libraries also take the labels.
Even though your son has not started elementary school yet, I say give the labels to school that he will attend for kindergarten. (Call and see if they are using them before you walk/drive over there.)
Where are you located? I know for sure Wilmette schools, where my kids go, accept them ... would be happy to meet you.
That's nice of you to think of helping others out. Wheaton Christian Grammar School accepts them, and also Medinah Christian School. Maybe someone will give you the name of a school near you that could use them, so it would be an easy drop off.
hi M.. i live in itasca, and my son's school collects these labels. if you want to contact me at lugilbert at aol dot com, i'd be happy to take them off your hands

I am not sure were you live, but My sons school takes them. It is Indian Trail in Downers Grove. I would be willing you pick them up for you and bringing them there. Its a shame that your school wont take them.
Let me know if you would like for me to pick them up for you. ____@____.com

Good Shepherd Evangelical Lutheran School in Downers Grove would be glad to accept the labels. We have two girls who go there! www.gsdg.org

Hi M.,
I'm not sure where you live, but I know at least on the elementary schools in Naperville collects the box tops for education because I collect then and give to my nephews.
Sorry I can't be more help.
M.,
My daughter-in-law is the label queen at Goodrich school in Woodridge. I know she would love all your labels.
Where are you at?
M.
