Times are tough, and people are pinching pennies everywhere. There are budget cuts being made left and right in the school system, affecting everything from what supplies our schools have (or don't have), to how many "in service days" are imposed in the shortened school year. Luckily, there are companies out there who still care. I have researched programs offered by five major companies, and gathered information for you readers. There are ways to donate to your local schools and you don't have to spend any additional money or buy things you wouldn't normally buy!

How does it work?
Clip some box tops, you know, those pointless pink squares on most of your food packages as well as many other products. You can earn boxtops when you shop online at stores like Walmart, Vans, and many other stores. You also have chances to win bonus boxtops through boxtop sweepstakes and by watching videos or taking surveys online for Ford Motor Company.
What schools can participate?
The Box Tops for Education program is available to any accredited public, private or parochial school, for grades K-8, in the United States.
If you have any questions, you can find a long list of FAQ's on their website, or contact their company by e-mail.
