Frontier Foundation’s ‘Coins for Christmas’ kicks off to buy new shoes for kids during the holidays
Published at | Updated atEAST IDAHO — As the holiday season approaches, Frontier Foundation is excited to announce the launch of its annual “Coins for Christmas” program, designed to bring joy to families in need this holiday season. Through generous community contributions and partnerships, the program aims to provide support to local children to ensure everyone has a “Merry Christmas.”
Since 1987, the Frontier Foundation has been raising money for new shoes for less fortunate children in Idaho, while teaching children the value of giving. Each year, schools compete to collect the most coins to support other children in their local communities. For every dollar donated, Frontier Foundation will match up to a set amount, doubling the impact of each contribution and maximizing the program’s reach.
“Coins for Christmas is more than just a holiday drive — it’s a reminder of the strength of community and the power of giving back,” said Alicia Jones, president of the Frontier Foundation. “This program embodies the spirit of Christmas by helping local families experience the joy and warmth of the season, no matter their circumstances. We’re proud to be able to make a meaningful impact in our communities.”
Community members who wish to participate in the “Coins for Christmas” program can donate at any participating Frontier Credit Union branch, supporting schools or online at https://foundation.frontiercreditunion.com/programs/coins-for-christmas/.
