Pictured are all the people who attended Family Serve Day and helped upcycle the plastic bags into sturdy dog leashes police can use if they come across strays.
Marietta, GA on April 24th 2026, from 9:00 AM - 11:00AM, Mount Paran Christian School held a “Family Serve Day” with Janice Overbeck, local real estate company owner. Everyone brought trash/ grocery bags from their homes or work to knot and braid them into dog leashes! The new leashes created from these upcycled plastic bags are given to the Cobb County Sheriff’s Office where they are useful when saving stray dogs.
Janice Overbeck played the trailer for the award-winning documentary Plastic Earth which she co-directed/ produced, inspiring others to go watch it. The families made 40 leashes within 2 hours.
Pictured above are Sheriff Owens, as well as Janice Overbeck, and Bella Papevies from the Janice Overbeck Real Estate Team.
