The Penny Challenge
Operation Rice Bowl
Collect change. Fill bowl. Fight hunger.
Save your coins and participate in this fun challenge to help fight hunger around the world...and for a chance to win pizza at your next floor meeting!
Here's how it works:
Residents place pennies into their Floor's bowl
Paper money and silver coins get placed into the bowls of other Floors.
This fuels the competition; Pennies count positively towards a floor’s total, silver coins and paper money count against a floor.
The floor with the most points by the end of the month will win pizza at their next floor meeting!
Penny = +2 points
Nickel = -5 points
Dime = -10 points
Quarter = -25 points
Dollar = -100 points

What is Operation Rice Bowl?
Run by Catholic Relief Services, Operation Rice Bowl has been able to alleviate hunger caused by poverty and improve the lives of individual and families in developing countries as well as in their own communities. In the first 40 years, more than $250 million has been given through CRS Rice Bowl to support programs that prevent hunger and poverty around the world. Of that, $62.5 million went to programs in the U.S. through local dioceses and $187.5 million went to CRS programs overseas.
