The Widow's Mite

“This poor widow put in more than all the contributors…”

Mark 12:41–44

And He sat down opposite the treasury, and began observing how the people were putting money into the treasury; and many rich people were putting in large sums. A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent. Calling His disciples to Him, He said to them, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury; for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”

Luke 21:1–4

And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury. And He saw a poor widow putting in two small copper coins. And He said, “Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them; for they all out of their surplus put into the offering; but she out of her poverty put in all that she had to live on.”

About Us

Our Story

Widow's Mite, as found in Mark 12:41–44 and again in Luke 21:1–4, says that giving is a heart issue. Jesus was pleased not with the amount that the widow contributed, but with her heart for offering all that she had in an act of sacrifice to her Lord.

At Widow's Mite, like the widow, we believe that small gifts from the heart are used by God in big ways. God's accounting is not man's accounting. God can multiply the meager sacrifices of those with a heart for Him in a way that does not happen when sums are offered out of abundance.

Our ministry focuses on encouraging people in need with food, medical services, friendship, and fellowship. We also support small businesses by buying products and gift certificates and delivering them to first responders and local government servants.
