As the holiday season approaches, there’s a special initiative underway that aims to bring joy and support to families in need throughout Idaho. The Frontier Foundation has launched their annual Coins for Christmas program, an effort designed to ensure that every child in the community experiences the joy and warmth of the season.

A Tradition of Giving
Since 1987, the Frontier Foundation has been raising funds to provide new shoes for children in need across Idaho. Over the years, the program has grown into a beloved tradition, one that brings together schools, businesses, and community members across Idaho to help support local families during the holidays.

Through Coins for Christmas, schools compete to collect the most coins in support of children in their own communities. The program teaches kids the value of giving back and encourages them to help their peers who may be struggling. For every dollar donated, the Frontier Foundation will match the contribution, doubling the impact of each donation and helping to expand the reach of the program even further.

A Community Effort
The program’s true strength lies in its community-based approach. With the support of schools, local businesses, and generous individuals, Coins for Christmas has been able to make a significant difference in the lives of children and families in Idaho. Whether it’s a handful of coins dropped into a donation jar or a larger contribution, every donation counts and helps create a ripple effect of goodwill that can last well beyond the holiday season.
