bottle drop 

The Bottle Drop Fundraiser continues to provide a steady source of funds. Ten Friends started its Blue Bag Bottle Drop Program in 2021 and each year since has raised more than $1,000.  The program operates in Central Oregon and provides a convenient way to recycle your bottles.  We provide bottle bags to you; you take the bottle bags to one of several locations.  

Each of the Blue Bags has a Bar Code that ensures that all the funds from that bag go into the Ten Friends account. Once a bag has been filled, it can be returned to a redemption center in Bend, Sisters or Redmond. (See list of redemption centers below.)

Please request some Blue Bags from Ten Friends Board Members or members of the Muse Club at Cascades Academy or the Interact Club at Summit high school. Feel free to share bags with friends and family. Your participation will help us increase the funding provided by this program. Program proceeds will provide much needed ongoing support for the Himalayan Education Center and Hopeful Home in Nepal.

Thanks for your participation and help supporting the wonderful programs of Ten Friends.
