We have all experienced it: a cashier asks you to donate a dollar or two to charity while you’re standing at the cash register. From direct cash solicitations into a change can at the checkout to asking shoppers to buy a puzzle piece to hang in the store. Even asking customers to round up their purchase to the next buck can raise thousands of dollars over a a short period of time. We have the donation jars and labels ready if you have a willing retail location!
