Change for Good Jar

A Ministry of Small Change Making Big Change

What Is It?

Drop Your Change!

Dropping your loose change into the Change for Good jar adds up! 

When the jar gets full, the congregation votes for items to be purchased. These items may be from ELCA Good Gifts catalog, or donations to Lutheran World Relief (or Disaster Relief), Backpack Buddies, local food distribution sites, and more!
