The Shane McConkey Community Foundation needs community support to sort the caps on select days each year.
Share this program with your favorite community and inspire others to explore green living and caring for the earth!
Inspired by the 2020 EcoChallenge winners, Don’t Drop the Top (DDTT), the Shane McConkey Foundation has partnered with DDTT and local organizations and businesses throughout Truckee to keep this amazing project going.
