Pennies of Purpose, Century of Impact
Continue a tradition that began in the early 1900s by supporting the Birthday Bank. Originally started by churches as a penny-per-birthday offering, this method allows anyone to give in honor of their special day or someone else’s. Over time, pennies have become dollars, and small gifts have changed the trajectory of children’s lives in our homes forever. Donations can now be made online, making it easier than ever to bless children and their families each year.
How It Works
The Birthday Bank is a simple yet impactful way to give:
Request a Birthday Bank
Call the OBHC Home Office at 405.363.6242, and we’ll send you a free Birthday Bank.
Celebrate with Giving
During worship services, Sunday school, or small groups, individuals celebrating a birthday or anniversary are encouraged to place a special offering in the Birthday Bank. Whether it’s a dollar or a dollar per year of age, every gift makes a difference.
Send Your Gift
Each month or quarter, you can either Donate online or mail your offering to OBHC’s Home Office. Please designate it as “OBHC Birthday Offering.”
