Some Christian denominations—Anglicans, Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Lutherans, Methodists, etc.—observe Lent, while others do not, so you could well be going, “Huh?”
For our purposes, all you need to know is that abstaining from a self-identified luxury—some “give up” going to restaurants or coffee—and almsgiving are common Lenten disciplines.
We invite everyone to participate in the 40 Cans in 40 Days discipline; collect a can a day, then, donate items to your neighborhood mini or food pantry! For a little more direction, see the Passionate Penny Pincher list!
