This Saturday, March 2, Alianza Recycling and Recovery LLC, teams up with local medical staff and Helps International to raise money through electronic waste recycling for the Helps International mission. Helps International, organized in 1984, is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation that partners with individuals, businesses, corporations, local and national governments to alleviate poverty in Latin America. HELPS integrated programs include: healthcare, education, community and economic development, and agricultural innovations in order to improve the quality of life for the indigenous people of Latin America.
