My Coins Count
Join the fun! Here's how:
Get started: Order My Coins Count wrappers to label containers for spare change, or create your own containers to gather contributions. Put up flyers and posters to let people know.
Get people excited: Share stories in children's time and make announcements. The best way to get people excited is by telling stories about the difference their coins will make. Find stories on water, food or education.
Collect coins: Collect in Sunday school or during offering time. Collect year-round or focus on select Sundays. Involve the children and make it joyful! Sing the My Coins Count song. Show the congregation the My Coins Count videos.
More about My Coins Count
When we work together, we can make a difference in the world.
Track your progress: You can use a large container – one church used a wheelbarrow – to collect change over time. Others make posters or charts to track their progress. Set goals and have fun rewards for meeting them.
Make a match. Invite adults to match the contributions of the children and quickly multiply your impact.
My Coins Count donations most often are given to MCC through relief sales. Don’t have a relief sale near you? Donate through your local MCC office.
