Donations and Labels
A total of 375 labels have been placed on boxes, with 312 already activated through donations from our congregation.  With further promotion in November, we anticipate more monetary donations, which could help us reach nearly 400 boxes!

Looking Ahead
The church council has approved a packing party for August 3, 2025, along with “Christmas in July” fundraising and OCC promotion.

Upcoming Meetings and Events
Brainstorming Meeting: Let’s meet to discuss ideas and plan for the November drop-off activities on Monday, Oct. 21 at 2 PM at the church. Please RSVP to Wendy Watson if you can attend.

National Collection Week: From November 18-25, we aim to collect over 9,500 shoeboxes in the Austin West area. We will need volunteers to assist during this week and help transport our cartons to Marble Falls on the 25th.

Thank you once again for your dedication to this mission! Each box represents an opportunity to share the Gospel and impact lives around the world. Let’s keep the momentum going!
