St. Margaret’s Guild (SMG) would love to have your used preserves jars back when you are finished with your jams and jellies and relishes. It would help tremendously to keep the costs down for 2024. The Guild used 1,401 jars in 2023. Purchasing these jars every year takes up a considerable chunk of profits. Happily, they were able to use 34 cases of returned jars in 2023. But they still had to order 80 cases (960 bottles)
By current calculations, SMG will need approximately 115 cases of jars, and at this time they have only 28 cases worth returned. So please, please, if you have jars that you intend to bring in, do it asap. Orders are pace din March, and every returned jar counts!
FYI: SMG does NOT need 500ml jars, only 250ml and 125ml. Likewise, please do not send in empty pasta sauce bottles, cheese whiz bottles, etc. They only want “preserving” jars.
Thank you for helping lower expenses (and practice good environmental stewardship) by returning your empty jars!
