In Wednesday’s event the girls partnered with Keep Albany-Dougherty Beautiful for a recycling drive.

Organizers say this week is in honor of all their donors, "it's so important that we learn to give as well, so that we can return the generosity that our donors give. So we want them to appreciate the donors by giving back to the community," said Sherrell Alexander the Executive Director of Girls Inc.
