LWML offers medium-size 'mite box'

The Lutheran Women’s Missionary League is offering its mite box in a new size.  In addition to the traditional smaller box and the larger display box, a medium-size mite box (measuring 12-by-5-by-7 inches, when assembled) is now available.

LWML members use the boxes to collect “mites,” or donations, that are used to provide grants to mission-related projects worldwide.  At its most recent convention last June, the LWML adopted a record mission goal of $1.825 million for the 2009-2011 biennium.

The new, medium-size mite box was conceived after LWML leaders heard about the smaller mite boxes being passed around at LCMS district conventions.

“The mite box would make it through a couple of rows and would already be full,” explained LWML President Janice Wendorf.  So, the Synod auxiliary decided to provide a larger box that could be used at gatherings, she said.

All mite boxes — including the new medium size (catalog no. 15805) — may be ordered from the LWML office in St. Louis (call 800-252-5965).  The medium mite box is available for $3.50 each, or $9 for three, or $125 for 50.  Shipping is extra.
