Stealey UMC is assisting Matthew 25: Ministries by accepting donations of empty plastic pill bottles for inclusion in shipments of medical supplies.
Their pill bottle program fulfills the dual needs of improving medical care in developing countries and caring for our environment.
Acceptable collection items include:
Prescription pill bottles
Large and small pill bottles
Pill bottles with and without child resistant caps
Pill Bottles should adhere to the following guidelines:
Bottles included must have a plastic lid.
Bottles should be sorted by color and type.
All labels should be removed leaving no glue residue.
All bottles should be washed in very hot water and dish-soap, rinsed, and dried thoroughly.
Caps should be placed back onto the clean, dried bottles.
Cleaned, capped bottles should be placed in large resealable bags marked “Clean Bottles”.
If you can’t wash, please remove the labels and we’ll get them washed for you.
Donated bottles can be dropped off at the church on Tuesdays and Fridays 9am-12 noon.
