  1. Joe,
    This years rice bowl came with an added note that gave us an actual destination for our alms. The monies will go to needy children in Bangladesh where about 36% of the population lives on less than $1 a day and many children make up the work force.

    My daughter and I decorated a coffee can on which we wrote “Change for Christ”.
    I have had it in the class room for several weeks. I explained how churches use to have Poor Boxes in the back (some still do) where you deposited your pocket change on the way out of church. I have challenged them not only to fill their rice bowls but to fill the coffee can.

    I like the 100 penny plan and will use that to explain how important it is for us to share our wealth.

    Thanks for your ideas and your website. God Bless!
