At the conference, the EaND Synod will be distributing candy boxes of Mini M&M tubes to each congregation. Congregations will share the sweets with its members. After the M&Ms have been eaten and enjoyed, individuals and families are asked to refill the tube with quarters. Each tube holds $14 worth of quarters.  A reproducible bulletin insert will be included with the candy which will detail collection information.

This special M&M offering of quarters will make a significant impact on children and adults in the Central African Republic.
