Coins for Crisis
What do you do with your loose change? The coins that collect in your car’s cupholder or the handful in your pocket after shopping? Or maybe it’s the jar at home that’s been collecting coins for the past few months, and it’s looking for a worthwhile cause to support.
Maybe PCCR can help by giving you an opportunity to make a difference with that loose change. Coins for Crisis is a quarterly scheduled event hosted by PCCR that focuses on collecting spare change and donations to help bring hope to those around the world affected by disasters or war.

Businesses can get involved by setting up a jar, a bucket or some other coin collection container with signage, on your checkout counter or help desk. Or by setting up a dedicated space near a public entrance with a bigger display such as a five-gallon water jug, a wheelbarrow or some other coin collection idea.
Churches
Churches can get involved by collecting loose change ahead of time for each quarterly event, by planning a Sunday School offering on the week of the event, or by dedicating a regular church offering to this cause.
