"And [Jesus] looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all."
Luke 21:1-3

Widow’s Mite was begun in 2004 primarily in as a supplimental food distribution program to benefit widows over 60 years of age. This program is a joint effort between His Lambs, founded by Betsy Keyton, and RCR.  In addition to monthly distribution of food, we provide necessary medcations, and buy wood for the winter.  Usually, the pensions the widows receive are very small and there is no family support. This year, the program was greatly expanded and we now have 29 people enrolled, spread out over eight  geographical areas in 3 counties.. With the dollar very much devalued here now and the cost of food and medicine going up every month we are praying for more sponsors as well as another mild winter in 2007-2008.
