A Note About Drop-Off Donations
While donations are genuinely needed and welcomed, we ask you to consider that container space is at a premium (no furniture please) and whether your item is something a mother in a developing country in need can use to survive and support her children. Please see our Donation Guidelines download for our top food and supply items.
To the extent possible please, ensure donations are packed and labelled separately by category: ie. food with food, clothing with clothing.
Please refrain from leaving any goods outside the warehouse.
As always, we are grateful for your donations.
Thank you and may God bless you for your support of the poor across the globe.

Top Donations Items That Are Greatly Needed
minerals
(Iodized) Salt
One of the most important things we ship is North American made salt. It is incredibly important as it has Iodine manufactured into it. Iodine is critical to health, as it is required for human thyroid functions including metabolism (energy) as well as brain and bone development.
health
Soap
For the poorest groups of people, soap can make the difference between getting sick or not. Washing in dirty water, with the use of soap makes a dramatic difference in hygiene. Alternatively, without soap, even washing in clean looking water, diseases can spread and even kill people of all ages – adults, elderly and children.
infants
Baby Formula (Canned & Dry)
When a mother has little to no food for herself or her own health is poor, her ability to produce enough milk to feed her newborn baby is at risk. One of the most important things to provide these women with is Baby Formula, so that they can help struggling mothers properly nurse their babies, and help them gain the necessary weight for growth and development. Babies often perish early if they lack the nourishment to survive or thrive.
medicine
Children’s Tylenol
When children are sick or in pain, they cannot focus on growing and learning. Children’s Tylenol helps to reduce fever and relieve pain due to colds, flu, headaches, and toothaches. Because infant and children’s bodies are smaller than adults, they require this specially formulated type of Tylenol to keep their dosage safe and effective. This items is greatly needed in countries where there is little supply.
