A group of Ridgefield middle school students is hoping small handfuls of loose change can make a big change in Haiti.
The students are holding a coin drive, dubbed “Small Change is Big Change for Haiti,” Monday through Thursday at View Ridge Middle School, 510 Pioneer St.
Students can contribute pocket change or dollar bills to the jars placed in the front office. All of the money raised will go to the American Red Cross.
The coin drive will also pit seventh-graders against eighth-graders; the winning grade will be announced at a pep assembly Thursday.
