The Penny Project

The American Baptist Church USA sponsors The Penny Project, a program for collection of money on a national level that is provided for children living in poverty locally.

Our children, from nursery to teenagers, bring to church their donations of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters to fill the banks that record the amount of their gifts. These gifts are then put directly into programs in the community to help children currently living at the poverty level. We want to instill the idea that a little can help a lot and that we should always look for ways to help our neighbors in need.
