If you have pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies, toon-ies or even larger amounts to donate to SHARE's toy bank, you can do so through The NOW's Pennies for Presents campaign.

Since 1990, Pennies for Presents has raised more than $150,000, money that has allowed SHARE to buy Christmas gifts for Tri-Cities children whose families cannot afford to do so. All of the proceeds go directly to SHARE, since the campaign is run through volunteer efforts.

Cheques can be made payable to SHARE Family & Community Services Society. Coins do not have to be wrapped. Just drop them off at one of the nearly 20 community locations and volunteers will do the rest.
