Thirteen ministries receive Change for Children grants
All year long, Holston churches collect loose change to help needy children both in Africa and at home. In late April, the Change for Children Committee announced that 13 children's ministries would receive a total of $34,675, culled from those nickles, dimes, and pennies.
From Wytheville to Chattanooga, eight of 12 districts were represented among groups receiving funds. Grants this year ranged from $5,675 to $500.
In all, the committee reviewed 26 applications requesting more than $84,000, according to Anita Henderlight, coordinator of children's ministries.
