Pennies for Police connects students with first responders through meaningful fundraising and personal impact. By giving their change, young people help create safer schools—and stronger communities.
Our Columbian nonprofit organization makes sure to engage our youth with First Responders (Law Enforcement, Firefighters, EMS) is crucial to ensuring their future and ours. Positive interaction with First Responders and the future leaders of our communities sets the stage for continuing and improving the safety of our communities.
“Pennies for Police” allows young people of all ages to take pride and ownership in their school resource officer by engaging their schools, youth organizations, etc. to bring their “Pennies” ( coin change they are given around the house) For Police” to provide and present a Bullet Proof Vest for the officer charged with protecting them.
The impact on the youth in promoting them having “ownership” by helping to “protect those who protect us”, provides an atmosphere of interaction that has a direct impact on crime, outlook, and overall well-being and safety.
The impact on the officer…….PRICELESS!
