'Tots' create smiles, Christmas joy

Admit it, when you see a penny on the sidewalk, you pick it up, right?

I know I do. I can’t seem to help it. I also can’t stop the childhood rhyme, “see a penny pick it up, the rest of the day you’ll have good luck,” from running through my head as I pick it up either. I’m sure the total amount of the pennies I’ve picked up over the years doesn’t add up to all that much. However, that’s not the case when we combine our pennies and that money goes to a good cause like Toys for Tots. The result is something pretty magical as those pennies add up to nickels and dimes, and those nickels and times add up to quarters and dollars.

Consider, for proof, today’s Toys for Tots donations, which feature a number of coin jar totals from around the community.
