Hargray Communications’ Caring Coins Foundation celebrated reaching $2 million in total grants with the announcement of $68,000 in new donations to local charities Monday. The grants were made possible by the generous contributions of Hargray customers who opt to round up their Hargray bills and donate the spare change to the foundation.
