Golden Hands: Small Caps, Big Impact
Through its Golden Hands: Small Caps, Big Impact project, RSVP of Daviess & Martin Counties hopes to collect 750 pounds of eligible plastic bottle caps and lids by early spring 2027.
The recycled plastic will be transformed through Green Tree Plastics' ABC (A Bench for Caps) program into a wheelchair-accessible picnic table and bench for the Loogootee Downtown Park Pavilion.
The goal is to have both pieces delivered and installed in time for the 2027 Loogootee Summerfest, creating a welcoming outdoor gathering space for residents and visitors of all abilities.
The project is funded through a grant from the Martin County Community Foundation and reflects RSVP's commitment to strengthening the communities it serves.
