Shipping  Of  Containers

      In partnership with Summit Missions, a few times a year we are sending 40x8x8 "containers" of items needed in the care of children, such as food, clothing, shoes, medical supplies, toys, blankets, and furnishings for orphanages. Although the food must be purchased in quantities for customs purposes, many of the other items may  be donated second hand. For dates and a  detailed list of items needed for the next container shipment, click on the box below. Due to limited space and stringent Ukrainian customs laws, please note that only items in clean, very good condition can be shipped. Please help us avoid extra time and expense by ensuring that all donations are in acceptable condition.

Computers

      The majority of institutionalized children are turned out to fend for themselves at approximately age 16, with no training or skills to do so. As a result the vast majority turn to drugs or prostitution. Thus you will find computers on the "Wish List" of items being collected to ship in containers to Ukraine. The missionaries with whom Father's House has a relationship in Ukraine have obtained government approval on a training program that will provide certification in computer skills for children prior to "graduating" into real life. Good working computers, printers and other accessories are needed, as well as a small sponsorship sum to cover the cost of preparing children to live independent lives. We invite you to consider whether you or your place of employment may have working computers that are no longer in use that could be donated to this cause. Forgotten, and to us outdated, computers could help save the lives of post-institutionalized children.

Formula for Babies

             We have developed a relationship with Abbott industries ( makers of Similac) in Ukraine, which allows us to purchase Russian labeled formula for a fraction of the purchase price in the U.S., also avoiding shipping costs and customs issues. For approximately .75 cents per day, a baby can be well fed.
