Everyone is encouraged to start a piggy bank using recyclables, like soda cans & plastic bottles, then all the banks are collected every fourth Sunday. The recyclables are sold by weight. This way, both the piggy bank and its contents go to charity.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01090181645752733275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-80528923971434668762010-11-23T11:41:57.481-08:002010-11-23T11:41:57.481-08:00Any one of these boxes would make setting aside mo...Any one of these boxes would make setting aside money a joy!Margaret Lukenshttp://www.newleafandcompany.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-63551924571007169132010-11-21T20:31:31.603-08:002010-11-21T20:31:31.603-08:00Cynthia, I would never have thought of it if Clair...Cynthia, I would never have thought of it if Claire hadn't mentioned it.<br /><br />Claire, thanks so much for the suggestion; I'm glad you liked the results!Jeri Danskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01647833266269245240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4238401484560614586.post-62703297978463745602010-11-21T01:10:47.752-08:002010-11-21T01:10:47.752-08:00Lovely!

Thank you so much for researching these!<br /><br />In addition to wedding gifts (good idea, Marcie), they would make lovely gifts to youngsters to encourage tzedakah.
