For struggling farmers, hoes and shovels are lifelines of hope — tilling the soil, planting seeds, and clearing weeds. Here at Grace, with our pennies and nickels, we were able to give one set of seeds and tools. Seeds and tools are gifts that keep on giving!Cute and useful, chicks improve the diet and income of struggling farm families. Here at Grace UCC we were able to give fifty chicks! With our little pennies and nickels, others are rebuilding their homes and their livelihoods. A CWS blanket not only provides needed protection, it brings a ray of hope to people when they need it most and reminds them they are not alone. You, the members, friends and visitors to Grace UCC, were able to donate ten of these blankets with “just” those pennies and nickels…When families and communities have been devastated by a disaster... basics like water jugs (or jerry cans, as they are called), allow them to carry clean water for drinking and cooking. Grace UCC was able to give eight of these water cans with those pennies and nickels.A shelter kit can mean the difference between life and death to a family displaced by a disaster...Grace UCC was able, with those pennies and nickels we all have in our pockets, in the car, in our drawers, to give one complete shelter kit. Imagine, an entire family housed with so little…Small loans provide start-up capital for women's groups to jump-start a business enterprise. Once the initial loan is repaid, it becomes part of a revolving loan fund for other women. Grace UCC was able to give one full loan for a woman to start her own business-with just those pennies and nickels.Rabbits can help struggling rural families increase their income. Rabbits are easy to care for and are famously prolific. Here at Grace UCC we were able to give, with those pennies and nickels, two pairs of rabbits and a rabbit hutch.A water buffalo translates into increased income, better health, and the chance for children to go to school. Here at Grace we donated one buffalo. And, we did so with those pennies and nickels. Thanks!
Pennies and Nickels:  One of the mission projects at Grace UCC is our “Pennies and Nickels” program.  Members and friends bring their loose change to church on Sunday mornings and place it in the silver “Change Bowl”.  Below are just some of the items we have been able to buy, many through Church World Service (CWS), via this simple program- one by which we are turning some of our smaller possessions into larger ones for those in need…
