Join us as we celebrate the 47 Penny Harvest schools who have gathered idle pennies from their communities over the past few months. Every cent they have collected will be donated to a charitable cause! Beginning in January, these Penny Harvest schools will go through a rigorous group process to decide how to spend their funds, involving both grant-making and service. The impact is staggering: student donations and service hours will help hundreds of local and global charities and at the same time build skills and values that will last a lifetime.

Please RSVP to Amber Gerding by Friday, November 26th:
