Please only give furniture in good condition that needs no repair. We do not have the time, resources or manpower to repair furniture. Good working appliances are needed as well. If you are planning to come on a week long mission trip consider purchasing some of the materials you will use and donating it to the ministry. We are always in need of drywall, treated lumber for decking and porches, toilets, sinks, windows, cabinets, doors etc.
Dependable transportation is one of the greatest needs the poor encounter.
Right now one of the biggest barriers to welfare reform in our area is lack of transportation to where jobs are available. Why not consider donating the vehicle you intend to trade in so that a poor family can use it as their primary mode of transportation. We also currently need full size vans for use in hauling materials in our home repair ministry. Please do not give us broken, dilapidated vehicles or lemons. We do not have the resources to bring them up to be usable.
