Currency For Kids

Welcome to Currency for Kids hosted by The Child and Family Services of Grand Erie Foundation: Programs and services that are vital to the resiliency of the children, youth and families serviced by CFSGE need funding. Currency for Kids is another way our community can ensure these programs are sustained and available the whole year through.

Our Mission

Approximately $2 BILLION in foreign currency is stashed away in sock drawers and cookie tins across the globe yet, foreign currency has no real value unless exchanged. and there currently is no currency exchange business in our catchment area of Grand Erie.

Let us help you free up some space by taking your foreign currency to be repatriated!

Your foreign currency donation will support programs that enhance the safety, well-being, equity, inclusion, and confidence of children, youth, and families served by Child and Family Services of Grand Erie

What We Need

  • Foreign Currency from ANY country, in any form.
  • Canadian Tire Money.
  • Any cash or change in Canadian Currency (even pennies!)
