 The City of Morgantown will hold a  greeting card collection  today – February 15 at select locations.

It is estimated that Americans buy over 6.5 billion greeting cards each year, with Valentine’s Day being the second most popular holiday to buy greeting cards during. The City of Morgantown created this collection event to help divert how many greeting cards are sent to the landfill this year.

Drop-off boxes are at the Morgantown Public Library, Spruce Center, 430 Spruce St.; Kroger stores in Sabraton and Evansdale; and at Walmart on Hornbeck Road.

Cards that are collected will be donated to local charities, schools and daycares to be used as crafts and to create new cards. If you would like to receive card donations, send an email to Vanessa Reaves at vreaves@morgan townwv.gov.
