Your vacation Bible school can transform the lives of hurting kids
CCHO was founded by 12 local churches who had a heart to see kids grow and heal in a safe, loving environment. To this day, our church supporters are foundation to our ministry of helping more people experience their worth in Christ. The youth who live in the residential center at Christian Children’s Home of Ohio (CCHO) come from hard places. They often don’t know the love of a family or the security of a next meal. They don’t know the joy of just being a kid. You can be part of life change for these children and teens.
We invite you to choose CCHO as your VBS mission this year and help kids in a tangible way.
Becoming a VBS partner with CCHO is one significant way your church can respond to James 1:27, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”
HERE’S HOW YOU CAN HELP
We’re inviting our 2025 VBS church partners to raise funds for the following project:
This summer you can help provide a child with an opportunity to experience fun and connection through a special off-campus outing (going to the zoo, playing putt-putt, etc.). You can give a young boy or girl something to look forward to and help them know what it’s like to “just be a kid” while they work through the trauma they have endured.
A trampoline would be used for recreation and aiding in the children’s therapeutic needs. Jumping on a trampoline can help calm the nervous system, improve attention, and decrease aggression. It can provide a child who is struggling with their emotions and behaviors an opportunity to process their thoughts in a safe and effective way.
An Emotional Support Dog provides tremendous benefits for children who have experienced trauma. They are a loyal, loving animal and will help remind the children that they are cared for and valued. You can help bring an Emotional Support Dog to our campus and make a tremendous difference in the overall wellbeing of the children at CCHO.
Off-Campus Activity
Fund Goal: $5,000
Trampoline
Cost: $1,200

A new outdoor basketball and pickleball court for the kids to be able to enjoy during their recreational time outside and know what it is like to just be a kid.
The current court is outdated, uneven, and poses a safety risk for children and teenagers when playing basketball, pickleball, volleyball, or any activity that requires a level playing surface. The old court will be demolished and replaced with a new one to make it safe for our kids to play. Your VBS offering can make this possible.
New Basketball and Pickleball Court
Cost: $30,000
