 Collecting
Pennies.
Penny Collections will Benefit The Center for Active
Generations
In
conjunction with their summer “ Take Five and Grow It” campaign The Center for
Active Generations is collecting pennies. The pennies will be used to help with
the equipment needs for The Center’s Activities, Day Break Adult Day Care and
Meals on Wheels programs.
The community is invited to bring their pennies to The
Center for Active Generations located at 2300 W. 46th Street in Sioux Falls and
place them in the “Penny Drop” display in their main entryway.
“During these times of economic challenges this is a small
way that people of all ages can help our non profit organization,” said Shelley
Hanisch, The Center’s Development Director.
Pennies will be collected until August 15th. For more
information please call 333-3302.
Did you know that 7 million pennies are thrown away each day!
Center members, staff and community friends are invited to donate their pennies
throughout the summer to help support the "Take Five & Grow It" campaign. Look
for the special Dacotah Bank container in the Center's main foyer and place your
pennies in it. It will be exciting to see how many pennies we "GROW" to help us
purchase new equipment for our Activities, Day Break and Nutrition/MOW
departments. Everyone who donates pennies will be entered into a drawing for a
$50.00 gift card donated by Minerva's Restaurant. Stop by the Center's
information window before you donate your pennies and fill out your chance to
win. The winning name will be drawn during the "Take Five & Grow It" celebration
