WE Day Club – C. Galloway

The WE DAY Club at Elboya has just launched a fundraiser called “Zinc Saves Lives”. Each homeroom was given a container to fill with dead batteries. At the end of November the containers will be collected.

Zinc is found in most everyday foods and we eat it so often we don’t know or think about it. Zinc can be found in foods like nuts, spinach, pumpkin seeds, beef and lamb. Each year, nearly 450,000 children die due to lack of consuming enough zinc. One AA battery contains the amount of zinc that can save the lives of six children.

The company TECK has partnered with Call2Recycle to help keep batteries out of landfills and help get zinc to the children who need it most. For every battery recycled, Teck will donate the value of zinc it contains to UNICEF in support of our Zinc & Health partnership.
