A simple and painless way to give. 

1. Take pennies, nickles ... from your change jars at home, vehicle cup holders, pockets and deposit them in a free checking or savings account. 
2. Make a donation to a charity or non-profit of your choice.



Most banks require you to count, wrap coins and will charge you for an account.  Many credit unions have change counting machines that will directly deposit change into your account.  Most will give you free checking and savings accounts if you meet certain conditions.
