Two Cents A Meal
2024-10-20
Two Cents A Meal is a small first step in the battle against hunger and poverty. Congregations invite every
member — of all ages — to contribute a few cents at every meal. This simple act is an expression of thanks
for what we have received. It is also a commitment to share with others in response to Jesus’ command “You
give them something to eat.” Two cents a meal equals 6 cents a day, 42 cents a week, and $1.68 a month – from one church member. We have this offering at First Pres Salisbury quarterly.
