Flying Circle Goes Green

Flying Circle Bags embraces our responsiblity for the well-being of our planet.  Our "earth mission" is to recycle and leave as tiny a footprint as possible.

Toward this end, Flying Circle Bags recycles all cardboard boxes, paper, glass and plastic.  Other projects underway include:

  • Construction of a water catchment system to furnish our factory with water from evaporation and rain.
  • Exploration of LED office lighting that will reduce electricity consumption by 50%.
  • Research into fabrics made of recycled materials for use in new and expanded product lines

Giving Back

Here at Flying Circle, we're grateful each and every day for you, our loyal customers.  We know that we wouldn't be here without you.  So, we do our best to honor you by supporting charitable organizations in our area and beyond.  Again, we couldn't do these things without you!

Here are some of the ways Flying Circle is giving back:

2011 OUTREACH

We've been fortunate to have many opportunities in 2011 to give back.  They include:  Fisher House Foundation, The Veteran Sportsman, Wounded Warriors Soldier's Christmas, San Antonio Rampage Seats for Soldiers, Cell Phones for Soldiers, Soldier of the Year, Pull for Kids 2011,  Hill Country Family Services, Cattlemen for Cancer Research, TX Tech College of Human Sciences, Erie County Dept. of Human Services, and the Boerne Chamber of Commerce.  Several more of the organizations and causes we are honored to support are listed below.

BASTROP WILDFIRE RELIEF

In September 2011 Bastrop TX experienced a massive wildfire that destroyed over 1,000 homes and many thousands of acres of land.  We were honored to help all the folks who were displaced from their homes.  We filled a truck bed and trailer with bags and delivered them to Bastrop.  We know the bags are being put to good use as these folks put their lives back together.

MARYLAND CENTER FOR VETERAN'S EDUCATION & TRAINING

MCVET's mission is to provide homeless veterans and other veterans in need with comprehensive services that will enable them to rejoin their communites as productive citizens.  We are honored to support this organization with donations of bags to be distributed to the veterans.

KENDALL COUNTY WOMEN'S SHELTER

Flying Circle Bag Company was proud to donate bags for a fund raising event for the Kendall County Women's Shelter.  KCWS will provide safe emergency shelter for Texas Hill Country victims of domestic abuse and their children.
