Gulf Coast Bank partners with KAB, Garden Club to ‘Love the Boot’

Gulf Coast Bank has partnered with Keep Abbeville Beautiful and the Abbeville Garden Club by sponsoring the “Love the Boot” canvas totes.
An average family takes home almost 1,500 plastic bags a year, none of which are recyclable. These reusable bags can be another choice when shopping.
Keep Abbeville Beautiful and the Abbeville Garden Club are participating in the “Love the Boot” week. “Love the Boot” week is held, April 18-24, dedicated to cleanup and beautification events in all 64 parishes across the state. Our goals are to Create a clean Louisiana for future generations; Engage communities to clean up Louisiana: Educate citizens to change behavior that create litter: and Make Love the Boot a strong, sustainable movement.
Keep Abbeville Beautiful’s participation involves several activities during the “Love the Boot” week. We will be distributing educational books dealing with litter and recycling issues to first and second graders. Promoting the use of less plastic in our daily lives by giving “Love the Boot” canvas bags and compostable take-out containers instead of Styrofoam containers. The Abbeville Garden Club not only spends countless volunteer hours beautifying the downtown flower beds but also addresses litter issues which in turn alleviates storm drain problems.
Keep Abbeville Beautiful would like to thank everyone involved for all their hard work making the “Love the Boot” event possible.
