Change for Change

Turn old currency into new hope, before it's too much.

Donate your unused currency now

Mental health doesn't start at crisis. Neither should support — and neither should the funding behind it.

Jack.org and Global Coin Solutions have launched Change for Change, a program that turns forgotten foreign coins and banknotes into direct support for the programming and tools that help young people — and the people who care for them — build good mental health habits before things reach a breaking point.

$2 billion

in foreign currency sits unused in Canadian homes and businesses. Change for Change gives that spare change a second life — turning it into real support for young people's mental health.

How your spare change helps

It's simple: you mail or drop off your old currency, and Global Coin Solutions converts it into funding that helps young people get support for their mental health before a crisis — not after. Every donation, regardless of country of origin, is repatriated and put directly toward Jack.org's work with youth and their circle of care.

Mail it in

Place your donation in a sealed envelope addressed to:

Jack.org c/o GCS
1-151 Carlingview Drive
Etobicoke, Ontario M9W 5S4

Drop it off

Place it in a sealed, addressed envelope and leave it in the mail slot outside the front door:

Jack.org c/o GCS
1-151 Carlingview Drive
Etobicoke, Ontario M9W 5S4

It's a small act — spare change or old bills from a drawer — but it adds up to something bigger: a culture where every young person feels connected, supported, and empowered to look after their mental health from day one, not just when things get hard.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of currency can I donate?

Any foreign coins or banknotes you no longer need — leftover travel money, old currency from a drawer, or bills that are no longer in circulation. Global Coin Solutions accepts currency from any country of origin.

Will I get a tax receipt?

For receipting questions, contact donate@jack.org and the team can walk you through what's needed for your specific donation.

How does my currency turn into funding?

Global Coin Solutions converts and repatriates the currency you send, and the proceeds go directly to Jack.org's youth mental health programming and prevention tools.

What if I don't know how much my currency is worth?
