Plum Point Baptist Coffee Can Fund making big difference A small Adair County Church is making Christmas brighter for 25 kids with innovative program This Christmas, the Coffee Can Fund ministry is making the holidays brighter for at least 25 needy children in the community and outlying areas, providing giftssuch as winter clothes and suppliesthe children would not receive otherwise, thanks to the Coffee Can Fund of the Plum Point Baptist Church. Each of the children on the list is receiving $200 in Christmas gifts. That's $5,000 the tiny Green River Lake church on KY 551, the Knifley Road, is spending, so far, in 2007. Some of the kids get new bicycles, some warm winter coats, whatever they want when they are taken shopping by one of the Plum Point Baptist Church congregants. The fund was started by David Mann, who lives in Elizabethtown, KY, but travels back to his Adair County roots to teach Sunday School and to worship. The Coffee Can Fund has no overhead. Every dollar contributed to the Coffee Can Fund is used for charitable purposes. Most of it is spent right in the main catchment area of the church, "But we also are helping some kids in Russell County and as far away as Hardin," a church spokesperson said.The Coffee Can Fund is a program of the adult Sunday School class at Plum Point Baptist Church, which meets in the church's sanctuary. In addition to the regular Sunday offering collected during morning worship, the adult class collects a special offering each week by passing a coffee can among its class members. Four thousand dollars of the fund came through small bills and change collected throughout the year, but this year, an anonymous donor sent a $1,000 donation to the fund. It came just in time. The Coffee Can Fund trustees had decided to give Christmas gifts to 20 children, with the $4,000 on hand. "Then five more names were added," a spokesperson said, "we added them on faith. We would have made that much up ourselves," she said, "but the $1,000 donation came through, and we deeply appreciate it, as we do all donations." The fund is used throughout the year, in addition to Christmas. The class uses this Coffee Can Fund to help others in the community in times of serious illness, personal tragedy, or other urgent need. Donations to the Coffee Can Fund are welcome!
