Mite Boxes Now Free!

You can now order the small (individual-size) Mite Boxes from the catalog on your own – and they're free. (Postage still needs to be paid.)

Medium and Large Mite Boxes are NOT free.

The Regional Vice Presidents may still have some "on hand" (for 10 cents a piece); let's use up their supplies first!

All About LWML Mites

Mite Boxes are used to collect offerings and donations for missions.

Twenty-five percent (25%) of the mite offering is sent to LWML for mission grants and the remaining seventy-five percent (75%) is used for your district's mission grants.

Mite money is used to further God's kingdom through the mission grants selected by delegates at district and national conventions.

Place your Mite Box wherever you can feed it: dressing table, office desk, laundry room, car, kitchen counter, etc. You might want to give a Mite Box to family members and friends.

Return your filled Mite Box to your LWML society.

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for giving me all that I have. Bless these mites that I give back to You so that they can be used to spread the Good News of Jesus' love here and throughout the world. Amen
