NOT our post- but it 100% explains how we have been able to do what we do - because every little donation adds up!

When we first started attending our church, we noticed this jar of peanut butter sitting outside one of the church offices on our way to our small group. Every week it was there. After we became friends with the man the office belonged to our curiosity finally got the best of us. “Why does this jar of peanut butter always sit outside your office,” we asked? He smiled. “Oh, it’s not the same one. There’s a person here who wanted to contribute to the food bank and so they leave a jar of peanut butter outside my office every week.”
One jar. Every single week.
You may not feel like you can do a lot for God. Maybe you don’t feel like you have a lot to offer. Five years is 260 jars, y’all. Ten years is over 500. If you’ve ever raised children, you know what kind of difference that much peanut butter could make. Figure out what you can do and then do it consistently. That’s all it takes.
