Luke 21:1-4
1 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their
wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

"Children and families across Haiti are in desperate need of lifesaving food, health care, and other necessities — a vital need that will continue to increase as the effects of the devastating earthquake take their toll on the country. Please donate today, and your gift will triple in impact to help hungry children and families in Haiti."

"Even something as simple as a blanket can mean the world to someone in need. A warm blanket is an essential for those suffering from disaster, inclement weather, or illness. Show your love by wrapping someone vulnerable — such as a child or elderly person, expectant mother, AIDS patient, disaster survivor, or refugee — in a clean, durable wool blanket for a peaceful night’s sleep."

"Chickens give children and families a lasting source of nutrition and income. Fresh eggs raise the levels of protein and other nutrients in a family’s diet, and the sale of extra eggs and chickens can pay for vital basics. Your gift of chickens will also naturally multiply to impact generations of children. Each family that receives chickens can sell the offspring for extra income or share them with other families in need."

"Reach out to orphans and other children whose lives have been devastated by the AIDS epidemic — along with the elderly grandmothers who often bear the burden of care. Your gift will help meet urgent needs such as food, shelter, education, counseling, care for the sick, and job training. This is a wonderful way to give tangible hope to hurting people."
