Even though his son is all grown up now，Jennings hasn’t slowed down his efforts．In fact，he’s turned his recycling money into something bigger．
Jennings visits local churches and businesses to collect paper，which he brings to a recycling center for money．But instead of putting those earnings in his own bank account，he sends every dollar to Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries．Once a year，he’11 give the organization a check somewhere between $10,000 and $35,000．By 2016，that reaches $400,000．
Jennings devoted himself to helping Georgia Baptist Children’s Homes＆Family Ministries after his first visit there when he was 18．“When we went to leave，these three little boys grabbed me by the knees and said，‘Will you be my daddy?’”Jennings told TODAY．“And I said I'll do what I can．That took my heart，right there．”
These days，Jennings’recycling has turned into a community effort．After he’s made his own rounds recycling paper from businesses and churches，he’11 find more items waiting for
