Cyrus Centre in Abbotsford and Chilliwack is holding a fundraiser called “Scrap Cars, Not Kids” this month.
At the event, the public is invited to drop off their donations of recyclable metals such as old bikes, lawn mowers, appliances, barbecues, bed frames, swing sets and batteries.
The items will be exchanged for money to help meet increased needs at Cyrus Centre, which provides emergency shelter and services for homeless youth at its two locations.
The Abbotsford fundraiser takes place on Saturday, April 18 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at HillCity Church, 3970 Gladwin Rd.
