PENNY POWER

This is the label that was used for the coin collection for 2011. Everyone is invited to start collecting for the 2011 sale on September 23-24.

Penny Power - An ever-increasing attraction to the Mennonite Central Committee annual relief sales is the collection of pennies and other coins. The year-round efforts put into coin collection can make a world of difference to people in many countries where MCC has a presence. In many countries, displaced populations are not able to plant crops and therefore food is a scarcity and to enjoy even one meal a day is a dream for many people. All are welcome around God's table where peace and justice flow.

Each family of the 23 Mennonite churches in southwestern Manitoba receives a label for a container. Everyone is welcome to collect coins and bring them to our sale on Sept 23-24, 2011.  There is a short DVD or VHS video on Penny Power available for free loan at Ten Thousand Villages (829 Rosser Ave ,Brandon).
