We only use the outside bag, the colourful one that holds the 3 smaller bags. If you wish to collect/save your milk bags for us please contact us, (send us an email) let us know. We will set you up with an easy way to save your bags. - We need volunteers to pick up the milk bags from our drop off locations and bring them to our meetings for others to use. - We need volunteers to help with the Teacher's 2022-2023 milk bag contest.

For our Pillows :
