Sheriff Richard Martin was inspired to collect cans after return machines were closed due to the pandemic.
His goal was to give the money from the returnables to organizations that have been struggling this year. He returned 92,537 cans totaling $9,253.70 split up among the Luther Lions Club, Bread of Life Food Pantry, AMVETS Post 1988 in Baldwin and the VFW Post 5315 in Baldwin.
He hopes to continue this can collection once a month in the new year and give the proceeds to other charities in the area.
“If we can work with them and have a service and a program that’s going to make our job better, but also provide some revenue for these charities, I think my job as Sheriff that’s what I’m suppose to do,” said Sheriff Martin.
