Response is growing stronger every week, especially with the new mural.\u201d Local artist Dallion McGregor recently completed a colorful mural on the cargo container that houses the program, with help from a grant for public art from the Josephine County Cultural Coalition.<\/p>\n<p>IVCanDO\u2019s Cans for Kids is made possible by the generous support of Oregon Caves Chevron, which donates the use of the location, the Carpenter Foundation, which made a start up grant, Southern Oregon Sanitation, which provides a cardboard dumpster and trash collection, and Shop Smart Food Warehouse, which assisted with program development, and the OBRC, which redeems the containers.<\/p>\n<p>Youth groups wishing to sign up for a collection day should contact Cami Sater at cami@ivcdo.org.
