CLARKSVILLE, Tenn.– Waste Industries donated $5,000 to support youth and individuals seeking to attain emotional wellness and economic independence as a part of LEAP Org.’s Youth Program.
Waste Industies’ Full Circle Project is a Clarksville-based charitable effort allowing the customers that are enrolled in e-billing to choose where the companies’ charitable giving should be directed. LEAP ORG was selected because they have served over 1,100 youth ages 11 to 24 since 2009.
Waste Industries General Manager Thane Harrison supports LEAP ORG and stated, “After hearing Richard Garrett’s inspirational testimony at our Rotary Club meeting of how God used his troubled past as a springboard to start a youth program that has impacted so many children in the Clarksville community, I felt compelled to support their efforts.”
Capital Campaign contributions from Waste Industries and other donors will help LEAP achieve two measurable goals. The first is to serve more youth, to deepen their investment and impact on their lives, and making them self-confident and self-sustaining adults. The second goal is to create new and expanded opportunities for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
