Year in review

 

Despite the tough economic times, in 09/10 students at 65 schools united to collect over 980 sacks of pennies, weighing more than 14 tons! Congratulations to the over 22,000 students and community members whose coins made up this year's staggering total of $78,836.45...the largest harvest in the history of the program. In the end, 149 Community Grants were made to organizations addressing student identified issues such as Disaster Relief, Hunger, Animals, the Environment, Children in Need, and Homelessness. To further the impact of their grants, 11 Neighborhood Service Projects were also completed. Congratulations on another fantastic year of Penny Harvest in the Puget Sound region!

Have a great summer and start collecting your pennies for the fall. The Offical National Penny Harvest Kick-off Day is October 25, 2010.

If you have not already done so, please complete your 10/11 Registration Form to secure your spot in the program for next year.

 

Update: June 2010 
PENNY HARVEST WILL CONTINUE INTO 10/11!

After weeks of fundraising, many "Friends of Penny Harvest" meetings and numerous discussions with local non-profits, on May 20th the Solid Ground Board of Directors voted to continue Penny Harvest for the 10/11 school year.

All friends and supporters of Penny Harvest-and anyone passionate about youth philanthropy-are urged to join us in our effort to continue to fundraise for the program.
