A penny may seem insignificant but thanks to the Million Penny Mission through the holidays, it couldn't be farther from the truth.

Beginning in November Lite 98.7 WLZW and 96.1 WODZ partnered with Hannaford Supermarkets and Adirondiack Bank to help raise one million pennies for the Rescue Mission of Utica and the Rome Rescue Mission by Christmas.

Supporters were able to donate at multiple locations throughout central New York at both Adirondack Bank locations and Hannaford Supermarkets. After bringing in a truckload of pennies to Adirondack Bank an astonishing 355,000 pennies were collected.
