Collect small change and make great change!
Common Cents for Kids, Fremont Public Association

Be part of this spring’s Common Cents program by collecting change from your family, friends, and neighbors and donating the money to your school’s Common Cents canister. At the end of the three-week campaign, Fremont Public Association will collect the money, count it, and give it away to help fund homeless and low-income needs in the area. Last year over $30,000 was collected! Fremont Public Association will provide the canisters and free curriculum materials to interested schools. You can even join a Youth Board to help decide where the money will go. This project is one that can be done by all students, turning small change into great change! www.commoncentsforkids.org
