Using arts supplies, students decorate inexpensive house-shaped cardboard boxes to look like a house. Participants take their collection boxes home and fill them with change and bills. On a selected date, participants bring the money collected back to school for a donation to the chosen charity.

More than 50,000 kids have raised more than $500,000 for charities in the Houses for Change collection boxes they created.
