WISH TREE 2025!
This is our annual opportunity to partner with Fairfield Central Elementary School to provide gifts, food, and Bibles to approximately 175 children and their families facing economic challenges. This is a chance for your entire family to serve our local community and remind them they are loved and seen by Christ and by FCC.
How to Participate
Choose a Child/Family: Pick up a list of needs and wants to shop for a specific child or family.
Goal: Provide a minimum of three separate gifts per child.
Estimated Cost: $50–$75 per child (great opportunity to use Black Friday sales!).
Give a Financial Gift: Donate funds for meat gift cards, food basket items, or to purchase Bibles (each family receives a Bible).
Team Up: Feel free to partner with another family to provide items for a child or family.
📅 Key Project Dates
Starting Sunday, November 9th: Choose a child/family to shop for (also Nov. 16th & 23rd).

Important Gift Instructions

Organize: Place the UNWRAPPED gifts, along with wrapping paper and tape, in an EXTRA-LARGE GIFT BAG.
List: Include the child's list in the bag, making sure to HIGHLIGHT what you purchased.
Label: Place a label on the outside of the bag with the child's identifying number.
Separate: A separate bag must be used for each child chosen.
Prayers
Please prayerfully consider how you and your family can participate in this crucial ministry. We ask that you pray over this entire program, lifting up our volunteers and, most importantly, the families we are about to help.
We look forward with excitement to the overwhelming blessings and joy we, as the Fairfield Church of Christ family, are able to provide to all these children and their families this Christmas season!
