Two pastors from Kaufman Mennonite Church, Davidsville, PA raised an extra $5,200 for Penny Power by spending time on their church roof .
Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches have adopted Penny Power as a great intergenerational activity and collect coins year-round. The collected coins and larger donations are taken to annual relief sales, which are festivals and auctions that support MCC projects. You can come and hear the coins jingle as volunteers sort and count the change.
Creative methods for collecting coins by volunteers have included collecting coins in a wheelbarrow and a watering trough, throwing coins into a basketball hoop, using teddy bear jars as banks and giving rides in a giant hollowed-out-penny. Other tips and activities outlined in the Resources for Groups section of this Web site.
You too can save your coins and make a difference or — to really see the fun — provide a match for the coins collected at your church, your relief sale or in all of your province or state. Check with the relief sale nearest to you for drop-off points for coins, mailing addresses for donations, and other details.
