Making a Difference in Our Communities

“Giving back is more than a donation – it’s about making a difference.”

DID YOU KNOW?

When you partner with us, you’re also giving back through our community programs!

At g2 revolution, we believe in the power of community and sustainability. That’s why a portion of our gross profit from every client program goes directly back into the communities we serve. We are proud to support non-profits near our facilities, including food banks, homeless support programs, and land preservation efforts.

Each of our national client programs helps fund community-focused initiatives. Through your recycling efforts, we contribute to vital causes that have a lasting impact.

Our Core Focus Areas

Mitigating Hunger

Our Feed the Future program supports food banks, ensuring families in need have access to meals year-round and get the nourishment they deserve.

Social Responsibility

We are committed to supporting programs that help individuals and families overcome homelessness and regain self-sufficiency.

Land Preservation

We support efforts to preserve natural wetlands and protected land in Illinois and Northwest Ohio through donations to the Ancient Oaks and the Black Swamp Conservancy.

Open Workforce

Through a partnership with a local non-profit, we provide employment opportunities to developmentally disabled individuals, helping them achieve greater independence.

A Personal Journey to Green Giving

Our founder, Billy Watterson, has always believed in the importance of giving back. Growing up in a challenging environment, Billy personally experienced the struggle to find food and support. This inspired the creation of our Feed the Future program in 2013, which continues to serve as the cornerstone of our Green Giving initiatives.

Since its inception, g2 revolution’s Feed the Future program has sponsored over 3.3 million meals at local food banks. We donate a portion of our gross profit based on the business we do with each of our clients. This program has allowed us to directly impact local communities in Illinois and Ohio, especially during hard times when support is needed the most.

“There will always be hunger. That’s why we have to do everything we can to stop it, or at least mitigate it.”

– Billy Watterson,
Founder of g2 revolution

Real Impact from Our Green Giving

At g2 revolution, we believe in the power of giving back, and our community partners are living proof of how your recycling efforts make a tangible difference. Hear directly from the organizations we support about the impact of our Green Giving initiatives:

“All it takes is one life event to become homeless, and your generosity helps those in your own community become self-sufficient and get back on their feet.”

“Your incredible generosity means that our hungry neighbors can sit with their families knowing that someone out there cared whether they went to bed hungry or not.”

“Our commitment to conservation is unwavering, and your support is more important than ever. We simply couldn’t do it without your support.”

“Your donation has been a virtual part of our efforts to effectively address hunger in our community.”
