Avon nonprofit collects keys for scrap-metal donations - The Boston Globe: "'I saw the paper clip story and it hit me: What about starting with keys?' said Greenberg, referring to children in Whitwell, Tenn., who collected millions of paper clips to commemorate each person killed in the Holocaust.
Greenberg's Key for Hope, incorporated in 2006 in Avon, now administers key drives, much like book drives. So far the nonprofit has set up about 30 sites around the South Shore where people can take their keys.
The campaign reached a high point last month when the founda tion's Keys in the Classroom program collected 31,000 keys from the Avon, Holbrook, Randolph, and Stoughton school systems - enough to donate 5,000 pounds of food to food pantries in those towns."
