Adopt-A-Highway Litter Removal Service of America is proud to highlight one of our outstanding sponsors, The International Institute of St. Louis. The International Institute of St. Louis (www.iistl.org) offers a variety of integration services for 7,000 immigrants and refugees from 75 countries each year. The Institute is the southern anchor for the City of St. Louis’ thriving International District, located just south of I-44 on S. Grand Blvd.

A substantial number of our clients are recently-arrived refugees fleeing war-torn countries around the world. We are there to help them by providing services at many stages of their adjustment process. When these newcomers first arrive in St. Louis, they must learn English, find a job, register their kids for school, and learn about their new homeland. After a few years, many start businesses, buy homes, and become US Citizens. We also produce St. Louis’ highly acclaimed annual Festival of Nations (www.festivalofnationsstl.org), this year scheduled for August 25 and 26. More than 100,000 visitors flock to the admission-free festival for a two-day round-the-world adventure of music, dance, food and more. More than 100 ethnic and international groups display their culture and provide an opportunity for visitors to explore the cultural roots of themselves and their neighbors.

The International Institute is our region’s hub for international activities and information,” said Anna Crosslin, President and CEO. “Our clients, volunteers and staff routinely travel the stretch of I-44 that we are sponsoring; so we are pleased to be helping Missouri keep its roads clean and beautiful.

Adopt-A-Highway Litter Removal Service of America, Inc. is partnering with the North Carolina Department of Transportation and Adopt-A-Highway volunteers for their bi-annual Spring Litter Sweep! Litter Sweep is scheduled for April 14 to 28 and encourages the cleanup of North Carolina roadsides. During the 2011 fall Litter Sweep more than 1.7 million pounds of roadside litter was removed.

This is a great opportunity for all North Carolina residents to do their part and contribute to a clean environment. Businesses can contribute through NCDOT’s Sponsor-A-Highway program and receive a highway sign displaying their business name and logo. Your sign is seen by millions of motorists, day and night, all year long. For more information on the program, contact Paige Woods at 1-800-792-4452 or email paige@adoptahighway.net.

The bi-annual Litter Sweeps are administered by the NCDOT Office of Beautification.

The NCDOT spring Litter Sweep is a great time for North Carolinians to get involved in community beautification,” said Transportation Secretary Gene Conti. “It’s an event that allows us all to work together, taking pride in the beauty of our state’s roadsides.

There is a new sponsor in town cleaning up the highways of New York Long Island. ShopRite of Patchogue has joined the Sponsor a Highway program to contribute to a cleaner environment. This family-owned business is focused on giving back to their community as they bring freshness and convenience to their neighbors.

A native of New Jersey, Harry Janson’s 40 year career (1970-2010) in the Supermarket Industry led him from New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Virginia, Alabama, and Arkansas before bringing him close to his home state in 1998. That’s when Harry, President of Janson Supermarkets, L.L.C, became a Wakefern/ShopRite member when he built a new ShopRite location in Hauppauge, New York. He and his family including his wife, Elizabeth, sons Harry II and William and daughter-in-law Amy manage this 61,000 square foot location. Just this past October, The Janson Family opened their second location in Patchogue, New York.

From day one, Harry was focused on giving his customer’s the best. Every day, his Bakery Department prepares Bagels and Donuts from scratch. The Prepared Foods Department features Rotisserie Chicken and Fried Chicken, which is breaded and fried on site.  Harry also has a full-time Sushi staff that prepares fresh Sushi daily, using only Grade A Ingredients.With many of his customers being working couples with young children, Harry offers ShopRite from Home.

Making sure customer’s have the ethnic foods they need is important to the Janson’s. The store’s ethnic aisle includes Polish, German, Indian, and Spanish products as well as a selection of Hala and Kosher foods including both a Kosher Red Meat Case and Chicken Case.

Harry Janson and his family feel very strongly about helping within their community.

A big welcome to our new sponsor in Kansas, Firehouse Subs. Besides serving up tasty hearty sub sandwiches, Firehouse Subs is serving up clean highways. Owner Mike McNicoll is dedicated to giving back to his local community that supports Firehouse Subs. This dedication is a corner stone of the company’s philosophy. By sponsoring the Adopt a Highway Program in Kansas, the company is expanding beyond their Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation in community service.

 

Be sure to stop by your local Firehouse Subs:

7521 W. 119th St. Overland Park, KS 66213

 

 

The story of Firehouse Subs is both touching and inspiring.

“Growing up in a family that is both entrepreneurial and built on more than 200 years of firefighting heritage, it seems we were destined to start Firehouse Subs®. Of course we tried other things along the way to our American dream – rock ’n’ roll, real estate, even Christmas tree farming. But everything we experienced on our path led us to Firehouse Subs.

Nearly 17 years later, with more than 450 Firehouse Subs restaurants in 29 states, we’re convinced we’re doing a few things right. People come back when they’re treated well, and fed even better. Turns out, people absolutely LOVE the same things we do – the best meats, cheeses, and toppings we can find. People come back again and again because, unlike other sub places, we steam our meats and cheeses, releasing a rush of flavors, then stuff a serving that’s way over code on one of our toasted private recipe sub rolls. It’s a winning combination that satisfies ravenous appetites and the value conscious alike.

As they say in the fire station, let’s eat.”
