40 Days of Giving Collection To Be Online
If you have been setting aside money for the 40 Days of Giving to ELCA World Hunger, we are ready to collect it and send it in after Saturday, May 4! Our initial goal had been $1000, and we will send in all that we receive to ELCA World Hunger, even if it exceeds that goal.
At the April Salem Council meeting it was decided that the most practical way to collect these funds is through Tithe.ly. Jackie Lindvall has created a specific giving category in Tithe.ly just for 40 Days of Giving. This is the preferred method so as to reduce the amount of direct handling of loose change and cash, which requires additional volunteers to come in. If you need to bring in your money directly to the church, please contact Pr. Matt or the Salem Office to make those arrangements. Checks made out to Salem with 40 Days of Giving in the memo line are also acceptable. Again, the deadline for doing this is Saturday, May 4 so that the check can be sent in the following week once the total is calculated.
