Pennies? They’re Soooo 2011.

Canada's getting rid of their pennies and children around the world need them. Just think of how many pennies are sitting in piggy banks, coin jars and under couch cushions across the country. It must be millions and millions of pennies! 

If we could collect just some of those pennies, it could mean thousands of items like chicks, goats and cows for people who are struggling to get by. For just five dollars (a jar full of pennies) you can put chicks in the hands of families in rural Mozambique.

Over the next two months CHF is reaching out to schools across Canada to help the children and families we work with in Mozambique.  You might no longer want your pennies but at CHF we work with thousands of people around the world that need them. 

Get Started Today!

Start a penny jar in your workplace, at your children’s school, or ask your favourite store to set-up a penny jar for CHF. Then use the money to purchase some chicks for families in Mozambique. When you send CHF your donation we will follow up with you so that you can see how your pennies are being put to good use.
