Pennies aren’t worth very much individually, but when kids donate them together, they add up! Pennies can buy pencils, books and even help build schools for kids in Pakistan & Afghanistan.

Hi, Some of our most successful volunteers are kids! We are a non-profit ministry that collects shoes (in all conditions) and then uses them to provide children and their families HOPE, COMFORT and OPPORTUNITY! Last summer we had the largest shoe drive ever by KIDS across the U.S. through Clubhouse Jr. magazine. We still receive donations from many of those families ongoing! Thank you for providing a great website to learn about more organizations that kids can put their heartwarming , hard efforts into helping others!
