CHANGE FOR CHANGE

We were inspired by Zach Hunter  who started Loose Chains To Loosen Chains.  Zach is a modern day abolitionist who is devoting his life to set slaves free.  Read more about modern day slavery on Zach's site.  

Everyone has change laying around the house, in their cars, and most of us have walked by the penny's on the sidewalk.  Let's just say the average person acquires $10 in change a month.  Well we are banking that you will and do have that much change on hand - and so do the other people in your life.  In the next 4 weeks we want you to turn in your loose change to make a change.  Over the next month anytime you get change back from a transaction dump it in a jar.  At the end of the month bring in your change.  We also want you to encourage your friends and family to do the same.  Take the jar and go out and collect change as well.  

We are partnering with Blood Water Mission to turn our loose change into building a well for people that have no clean drinking water.  Get started today.

WATER STATS : :
According to the World Water Council, 1.1 billion people live without clean drinking water; 2.6 billion people lack adequate sanitation.  1.8 million people die every year from diarrheal diseases and 3,900 children die every day from water born diseases.
