Pennies for Poverty:
Two Cents For Change
Two Cans for Change:
To increase awareness of hunger in our area and increase donations to food pantries. To contact us about food drives or food-related questions, please email us at 2can@2cents4change.com.
TWO CAN! Yes! We can CAN!
Please join the Two Cans for Change campaign and help raise needed non-perishable items for the local food pantries. Pennies has a semi-annual food drive at Shaw's; if you would like to volunteer with the food drives, please contact us at by email at 2cents4change@gmail.com.
We are asking that the local religious organizations designate their food pantry collection day as Two Can Sunday. A 2 Can poster is available here.
Other cans and nonperishable drop off locations throughout the month: Salvation Army, Pettengill House, Community Action, and Our Neighbor's Table. Please note The Salvation Army can also take fresh fruit and vegetables.
