CHILDREN’S CHANGE @ ILC

πŸ’° Small Coins, Big Impact

Each week during worship, our children collect "Children's Change" β€” a joyful and meaningful offering that reminds us all that even the smallest hands can make a big difference.

These generous gifts go to support a wide range of local, national, and global ministries, helping to meet real needs and spread God’s love in practical ways.

Through Children's Change, we've been honored to support organizations such as:
πŸ›’ Dixon Food Pantry
🍲 Meals on Wheels
🏠 Habitat for Humanity
🧑 YWCA & PADS Homeless Shelter
πŸŽ’ Buddy Bags & Tools for Schools
🌍 Lutheran World Relief & ELCA World Hunger
πŸ™ LSSI, LOMC, and ILC Youth Ministries

…and many more over the years!

This is more than just a collection β€” it’s a hands-on lesson in generosity, compassion, and the power of community.


Thank you for helping our kids live out their faith one coin at a time!
