NEW EXCITING BLOW ME AWAY PICTURE GRAPH!!!
Operation Christmas Child spreads the Gospel of Christ to children and their families to places that might not otherwise hear the Gospel. They send shoe box gifts to these children, present the Gospel to them clearly and also include a booklet in their native language about the Gospel.
Operation Christmas Child has been on my heart for some time. We donate toys and pack shoe boxes at our church every year. Our church is a drop off center that collects boxes during the annual collection week in November. Our church also has a Packing Party Ministry where we packed over 8,000 boxes this year! God is so good!
I would like to make 1 oz bars of soap to donate to our Operation Christmas Child packing party ministry. The packing party takes place the beginning of November, because soap takes 4 full weeks to cure and I only have so much space in which to cure the soap, I need to start making the soap as soon as possible. To do this I am asking for your help. I've set up this donation page to allow for you to give to the cause.
My goal is to make 3,000 1oz bars of soap for children to be given out in Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. It would be amazing to be able to make twice that!
I will need to buy the following consumable supplies to make this dream a reality.
Oils
Lye $32
Packaging $30
Shipping charges for donation incentives
The following reusable supplies will make the process of making 3,000 bars of soap MUCH easier! Soap takes 4 weeks to fully cure/dry out. These items will allow me to make more soap at one time. With the wire soap cutter listed here I could cut 24 1 oz bars in under a minute, compared to about 5 minutes to cut 24 bars how I currently cut soap! It will also produce bars of soap that are uniform in size.
This Wire Cutter
These costs are for 3,000 bars. Double the amounts of consumables and I could make 6,000 bars, but wouldn't need any more reusable supplies!
Total cost for this first year to make 3,000 bars of soap -
