Day One - Beginnings

As Change for Change set out our mission was in heart and mind. Information packets ready and our pitch needed no convincing, it was up to us to find the change on Melrose.

Then as only the Universe can plan, we see this mother struggling to carry a 36-pack of water, of course instantaneously we offer our service. Reaching her destination we mention to her out movement, and our first bag of recyclables was set to be pick up at 5 pm after The Miracle Worker play at the Matrix Theater.

This moment inspired the day . . . from there we reached out to 5 local businesses. We now have 3 of those 5 signed up and two have already donated their first bag! The other two, fortunately already are donating their recyclables to families who have contacted them.

Out of the businesses we've choose Street Sounds as our featured business. Bob is a DJ/Producer here in LA, and has supported the local art and music scene since 1989. Check back tomorrow for images and bio for Street Sounds on Melrose--he also offers a DJ SCHOOL!

Our journey is off to a great start, and we're looking forward to collaborating with the community in order to relieve the burdens of this financial disaster. If you're interested in donating your recyclables to Change for Change, feel free to contact us via email. We can arrange to have our volunteers pick up your recyclables at your convenience. Daily pick-up available.
