2023-2025 Live Thrive Board Fundraiser

I became involved with Live Thrive as a volunteer at our Hill Street location in April of 2022. I have always practiced recycling efforts but what better way to show your support than to get your hands a little dirty. It's hard work but very rewarding. I was recognized as Volunteer of the Year in 2022 which was really special. I have continued to volunteer and assist the team in whatever is needed.

 I was thrilled and honored to be asked to join the Board recently and look forward to my continued involvement with this outstanding organization.

I and the other board members of Live Thrive are raising funds to directly support Live Thrive and its educational initiatives. I would greatly appreciate your support.

About Live Thrive: 

Live Thrive is an Atlanta-based, 501c3, nonprofit organization working since 2010 to create a community that cares about a healthy and sustainable environment. We started as a blog sharing sustainable efforts of individuals, communities and local businesses large and small.

To fulfill our mission, Live Thrive organized the city of Atlanta’s first household hazardous waste collection in September 2010. Attendance was well over 500 – diverting more than 75,000 pounds of waste from our water system and landfills. Over the next four years, Live Thrive organized nine additional events. Through these events, we realized the need for a permanent drop-off facility for these hard-to-recycle materials, and CHaRM was created.

It would not be possible to run the CHaRM facility without the support of volunteers and donations. Make your community a healthier place. Get involved!

About CHaRM

Atlanta’s only permanent facilities for the recycling of materials too harmful to place at the curb, Live Thrive’s two CHaRMs – Centers for Hard to Recycle Materials – encourage reuse while diverting thousands of tons of household hazardous waste and other hard-to-recycle items from local homes, water supplies and landfills. In 2023 alone, CHaRM Atlanta reused/recycled/reengineered more than 251,012 pounds of Styrofoam, 503,225 pounds of chemicals, 453,224 pounds of glass, 4,000 mattresses and much more for a total in excess of 5.7 million pounds of materials. In June 2024, Live Thrive opened CHaRM DeKalb, offering area residents a second option for recycling and reuse.
