Almsgiving Almsgiving is tied closely with fasting. Whatever we give up, the money we save, should go towards the needy. It should be given away to the missions, the church, or a worthy charity. In a family with small children, it helps to make this a visual practice for example, having a jar or a box in the center of the table as a reminder and a measure of progress.

Why is almsgiving important during lent? almsgiving is simply a response by us to God, a response that we have come to through prayer and fasting. It is an expression of our gratitude for all that God has given us.
