Quarters From Kids is offering young people (and adults too) the opportunity to donate to help the survivors of Hurricane Katrina and to rebuild New Orleans and devastated communities in Lousiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.
Do you want to help?
The best way to help is to raise funds for relief efforts.
To learn a bunch of ways to raise funds and to see what other kids are doing, click here.
Collect every quarter, nickel, dime, or dollar that you can.
Use your allowance. Ask your family and friends to give you a quarter (don't forget to say please). If you find a quarter on the floor, you can use that too.
Did you collect $5 or more? If you did, you're ready to give your donation to a relief partner, so move to the next step. (Did you know that $5 can buy enough medicine to keep one child healthy for 3 months?)
