It’s simple, just walk at least 1 mile during the 40 days of lent and find people to sponsor you and your goal is to raise $40. Drive up – Drop Off your donations on March 28th from 10-12 pm.

Each day, the calendar will ask you a question. Example: How many pairs of shoes do you have? Students will write the number. Use the Hunger Piggy received in your Faith Formation Lent Packet to put coins to represent the number. Example: You will get rolls of Nickels, Dimes, Quarters and use during this project. If you have 6 pairs of shoes you will put in 6 quarters.
