Welcome to Week 8 of the Rice Bag Project!
It's time to start counting change...and start changing lives!
This is the week to wrap up your Rice Bag Project and find out how much you've raised.
Once you've counted your coins, you can go to our website and give an online gift in the amount of the change you have collected. You'll also find information about how to make a donation through the mail.
