From now until Thanksgiving, Penny Harvesters will go door-to-door with their families asking neighbors to help them better their communities by donating spare change.

From now until Thanksgiving, students will go door-to-door with their parents asking neighbors to help them better their communities by donating spare change.
During the next four weeks, millions of pennies will be collected by Penny Harvesters, and thousands of Penny Harvesters will connect with their communities.

Have you ever had to spend two hours looking for pennies?
Well, I have, and let me tell you, it was worth it.
It was for an event at my school called the Penny Harvest. No, it’s
not putting pennies in the ground and digging them up in the
fall. It’s collecting pennies to donate to services and organizations
such as the Red Cross. Believe it or not, our school, Mary Lin Elementary, was the first
school in Georgia to collect pennies for the Penny Harvest.
