Mite boxes for Bishop's Fund for Children of the Episcopal Diocese of CT

BFC Mite boxes are not just for kids!

Picking a special time for your parish to collect spare change in mite boxes is a fun and painless way to raise significant funds for Connecticut's children at risk. Many parishes have found ways to build excitement around the project:
•      Make it an inter-generational event
•      Have people bring filled boxes and present with the offering on Sundays throughout the season. Invite people to pick up another box.
•      Use special Advent or Lent or calendars (see links below) to teach about stewardship and remind people of parish events.
•      Make a final announcement of results and thanks. Don’t forget to celebrate!
