Operation Christmas Child 2024 Recap & 2025 Goals
FBC Blanco Operation Christmas Child 2025
Our 2025 Goal: 600 Boxes!
In 2024, we sent 477 boxes—far exceeding our goal of 300! Let’s keep the momentum going by reaching our 2025 goal of 600 boxes. Each box costs approximately $30 to fill and ship, meaning we need to raise $18,000 to bring joy to children worldwide.
Key Verse for 2025: "Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." – Luke 14:23
Dates to Remember:
Christmas in July: A special focus on OCC with a VBS mission emphasis.
August 3 – Packing Party! Join us for a fun-filled day of assembling boxes. Individual boxes can still be packed after the church-wide packing party.
November 17-23 – National Collection WeekDrop off your boxes and help send them on their way!
We need to raise $18,000 to cover the cost of supplies and shipping.
Consider:
Donating $10 per month
Sponsoring a full box for $30
