Help CHANGE Lives

I've talked before about our big Folgers can sitting in the foyers. Here.
We are still adding to it!

We’ve rolled a lot of coins this past year. Every cent has mattered. Every cent has had a purpose. 
Just like every human life matters and has a purpose!

This simple act of saving our change has paid for mailing cost, or fingerprints, or been just enough to cover a gap when we felt stretched to pay whatever fee was due. Because God uses it all. And He has made it enough.

And it’s a simple thing anyone can do. 

So we ask, that if you are able and willing, and feel so lead, save your change for us for just one month between now and whenever we travel to pick up the new kids. 

If you don’t have a container, we’ve been collecting them and are happy to bring/send one (or several) to you! Contact us and we'll send you a pretty sticker for your container and 

send a reminder at the end of your month. 

The change will be collected and given towards our matching grant at Promise686, or directly to our agency or travel expenses (depending on donor preference or where the biggest need is at the time).

We’d also encourage you to ask your social/civic group, church, Sunday school or Bible study class, or co-workers and friends if they would like to Help CHANGE LIVES with their loose change.

We’ve got more stickers! Just let us know about how many to send!

We cannot make donations to Promise686 or Abba Fund ourselves (per IRS rules) so the fundraiser donations gathered must be submitted by a friend or group/church on our behalf and are not tax-deductible. If you would like your gift to be tax-deductible you would need to write a check to Promise686 or the Abba Fund. We can collect those and send them in.

Not everyone can give big, but everyone can make a big difference. A little at a time.
