Abstract
The present invention is directed to a donation container system which includes a sensor for detecting the approach of one or more individuals to the container. The container system also includes a microprocessor and a speaker, so that when the sensor detects the approach of one or more individuals to the container, it sends a signal to the microprocessor which in turn communicates with a voice chip. The voice chip then sends an audio signal to an output speaker so as to produce an audio output.
