Alison McKellar has been working with "NuDay Syria" which is an organization out of New Hampshire that helps with Syrian relief efforts. Alison has taken it upon herself within the last 3-4 years to collect donations for Syrian refugees at her home in Maine. The items include clothing, food, and medical supplies, in addition to used shrink wrap and partial/end rolls. The donations are put in a 40' container and shipped to Syria where the project activists collect the items for the refugees. Dr. Shrink has donated materials in this effort and we are now hoping our shrink wrap customers will do the same.
Alison states, "I've had some good success getting shrink wrap contractors to donate the ends of their rolls to the project. In Syria,

using these rolls for everything from shelters to wall liners for field hospital operating rooms. Getting the ends of rolls makes it a lot easier to ship and less labor intensive for me, and I'm hoping to track down other companies and individuals willing to donate them."
Please take less than 10 minutes of your day to watch this video on the effort. How shrink wrap is being donated and used is mentioned at the 2.5 minute mark.
