www.insideHALTON.com · OAKVILLE BEAVER Friday, May 4, 2012 · 30 Habitat for Humanity penny drive on 'til May 31 Habitat for Humanity Halton believes donating your pennies not only makes `cents', but it can also make a home. Habitat for Humanity Halton is staging a massive penny drive with the goal to collect 10 million one-cent pieces by the end of May, saying it equates to $100,000 to help build a home for a low-income Halton family. Habitat affiliates across Canada are collecting pennies with the same goal. "We have been tossing this idea around for awhile and decided now is the time in light of the federal government's announcement the penny will not be in production as of this fall," Mary Kay Aird, director of development for Habitat for Humanity Halton, said in a press release. The public can donate at the Habitat ReStore in Burlington, 1800 Appleby Line, Unit 10, during store hours, or at any branch of Prosperity ONE Credit Union. The drive runs until May 31. Habitat for Humanity Halton is an organization that strives to provide affordable home ownership to low-income residents of the region. For information, visit www.habitathalton.ca.
