On Wednesday, August 11th, Lenawee County Mission dumped over 2,500 pounds of pennies in the parking lot of First Federal Bank in Adrian. It was the conclusion of our second "Project 222" fundraising event, whereby we sought to raise 2 tons of pennies in 2 months, 2 at a time. All funds raised from this event will assist LCM in its efforts to expand its ministries to the hungry, homeless and addicted in Lenawee County.
Thanks to all who helped make this event successfull, particularly those businesses who displayed collection cannisters for us, including: Adrian Dry Cleaners, Lowry's Market, Perky Pantry, Sounds of Ligth, Continental Service, Village Green Golf Course, Lenawee Tire & Supply Co., Dick's Meat Market, Jerry's Express, Country House Restaurant, Tecumseh Plywood, T.C.'s Hardware, Blissfield BP, Riverbend Timberframing and Centerview Golf Course.
A very special thank you to First Federal Bank for providing penny conversion and use of facilities, Cutler-Dickerson Company for providing their scales to weigh the truck & pennies and Bales, Inc. for providing the dump truck for this event.
We also would like to thank Jerry's Market, Walmart and Staples for providing space for us to collect donations at their doors of business.
Finally, we thank God for His continued grace, mercy, healing and hope being made visible at LCM and for the blessing of such caring and compassionate supporters who contributed to this event.
