"One of the tree pillars of Lent (and Christian life) is alms giving, or giving to the poor. We are to share the good things of earth. By helping those who don’t have as much as we do, we practice justice and love. During Lent whenever you give money, food, clothing, or a toy to the poor draw a coin in the Poor Box."
