Donation Station

Did I write about this before? My memory isn't so good these days; I think my brain is slowly drying up.

Anyway, This is a Donation Station located in downtown Las Vegas at the southeast end of the Fremont Experience, on the Main Street curb just across the street from The Plaza Hotel & Casino.

All that extra change you have in your pocket ... you know, the coins you have no use for since the slots all converted to bills and tickets ... instead of carrying them around, wearing holes in your pants pockets, you can get rid of them and help the homeless at the same time.

The money is used to help provide transportation, shelter, and other essentials for the homeless, and of course, to increase awareness of the problem to those of us who cross the street. The Donation Station is officially coordinated by the City of Las Vegas, who's renovating and recycling old parking meters.

And yes, I always empty my pockets of change when I bump into the Donation Station.
