Bulletin Announcements – use during DFH time at your church
Week 1
Dimes for Hunger began in our Presbytery in 1977. At that time, many people lost their jobs due to the textile mills closing in our area. A plan came to mind: ask each member in each of the churches to give One Dime - Per Meal - Per Day for the month of October for a total of $9.30. The Offering would be used to help provide food for our neighbors who were hungry. Now more than ever, our sisters and brothers need our help. Since this is the year 2020, we encourage you to double your offering to Two Dimes -- Per Meal – Per Day for a whole month for a total of $18.60.
Week 2
Jesus challenged the disciples to “Give them something to eat” [Luke 9:13]. Of course, there was only a small amount of food available for so many people on the hillside, but through Jesus’ love, the food multiplied and there was more than enough to go around. Our dimes might not seem like a lot, but through God’s love and our desire to help others, they will go far and feed many.
Week 3
With so many of our sisters and brothers out of work, or just getting by because of the pandemic, the need for our dimes is greater now than ever. 100% of the Dimes for Hunger Offering goes to feed those who are hungry, both near and far. Together we can make a difference for many people, not only through the food that will be purchased with our contributions, but also through the love we give in those offerings. Now more than ever, people need to know that there are caring people in the world who are willing to show love and compassion for others.
Week 4
Food Pantries have continued to remain open during the time of COVID-19. Some agencies have delivered food to those without transportation to come pick up food. The many agencies that receive our dimes do not want people to be hungry during the pandemic. The first thing that comes to mind is, “What would Jesus do?” He would give them something to eat. Let us follow in Christ’s example. Thank you for contributing to the Dimes for Hunger Offering.
Week 5
Thank you for sharing your dimes and your love to your sisters and brothers in need! We can and do make a difference for many people who are hungry and in need when we give our dimes.
100% of the DFH Offering helps feed our sisters and brothers who are hungry here at home and farther away.

This is the 44th year that Providence Presbyterians have responded to Christ’s call to
“give them something to eat.” [Mark 6:37]
NOW MORE THAN EVER,
our dimes and our love are needed to help our sisters and brothers who suffer from food insecurity here at home and farther away.
