“I hate to see suffering. I hate to see people in need and I feel God gave me a gift and I have to use it responsibly by giving back and I’ll do it until I have pennies left or the good Lord calls me home.” ~ Michael Jackson

JAM Jar initiative

MJL’s yearly JAM Jar initiative, gives you an opportunity to raise funds and to get creative!

 MJL’s JAM Jar initiative is named after Michael Jackson’s hit single ‘Jam’, which was released on 13 July 1992 as the fourth single from his groundbreaking Dangerous album.

Now, you can make a difference in Michael’s memory by simply collecting your spare change in your very own JAM Jar! The project begins and ends in July each year, but you can find – and decorate, if you wish – a jar at any time of the year. We even have stickers in our shop if you are stuck for ideas.

On 13 July each year, everyone participating will empty their jars, count their spare change and submit the total – via Paypal or bank transfer – to MJL by 31st July latest. Then, we start all over again!

Here are some of our favourite JAM Jars you amazing people have sent in over the years. Take a look – maybe yours is one of them, or maybe they will inspire you to join us on this journey.
