Donate-First Day Kicks-Off Earth Month Activities

To kick-off North County Earth Month activities, the City of Oceanside and the Green Oceanside team invite residents to Donate-First Day on Saturday, April 5th from 10am to 3pm at the El Corazon Senior Center, 3302 Senior Center Drive. At Donate-First Day, residents are encouraged to donate gently used items such as clothes, household goods, toys, furniture and e-waste. Also, local food banks will be on hand during Donate-First Day to collect healthy food donations such as canned fruits & vegetables, fresh produce and dairy products. All donated items will go to local non-profits and charities. Military and senior citizens with valid ID are invited to pick up remaining donated items for free from 3 to 4 p.m.   For more information about Donate-First Day, a list of needed food and non-food donations or other North County Earth Month activities, visit www.greenoceanside.org
