Pocket Full of Change is dedicated to examining poverty in Tompkins County by discussing the missions, events and strategies of non-profit aid organizations. By looking at their work and telling the stories of the families who benefit from it, we hope to explore how the poor are kept in powerless positions, ways people are already helping and how others can contribute with their own “pockets full of change.”
We're always looking for new stories to cover about poverty and hunger relief in Tompkins County. If you know of upcoming educational presentations, advocacy campaigns, fundraising events; meet someone interesting who knows their stuff about local poverty; or simply have a cool idea about something we could cover, email pocketfullofchangeblog@gmail.com and let us know!
