Channel 7 Films Live at Empties

Channel 7’s Thuy Lan Nguyen visited Empties for Empower Military Rd. location on Tuesday, October 23 to film live segments between 5 and 7 am.  She helped Empower spread the word that bottles and paper give purpose to people with disabilities, who earn a wage and learn job skills while handling the public’s materials.  Thuy Lan was so wonderful to work with and instantly bonded with workers with disabilities who were present.
