Every Sunday morning during the offering, you will see children of all ages joyfully walking down the center aisle, collecting quarters from grown-ups. When their hands are full, the children walk (or hop, or skip!) back up the aisle to put those quarters in the Goat Bank -- a tall, clear, cylindrical tube that stacks $120 worth of quarters.
The Goat Bank is our Children's Mission to support the good works of Heifer International, the acclaimed nonprofit organization founded to end world hunger and poverty throughout the world. Whenever we fill our Goat Bank with quarters, we know we have raised enough money to purchase a goat through Heifer International, and the organization then donates this farm animal to a family in need somewhere in the world.
The goat we donate is not an ordinary gift. Giving a farm animal to a family in need is like giving them a small business. Farm animals donated to families through Heifer International provide wool, milk, eggs, and more. Farm animal donations can provide families with a critical hand up, increasing their access to medicine, school, food, and a sustainable livelihood.
To date, the children of FPCP have purchased and donated 8 goats to 8 families around the world!
