Lawrence Habitat for Humanity will donate 30 percent of its recycling income to the Habitat International Hurricane Relief Program in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and the anticipated landfall of Hurricane Rita.
Habitat needs volunteers to help pick up cans on a weekly basis as part of a fundraiser for the home-building organization and hurricane relief, said Jean Lilley, executive director of Lawrence Habitat. For more information, call 832-0777.
