Things you can buy that we can take...
So many of you want to help but you don’t sew... How can you help?
BABY SLEEPERS are always welcome and it is great if you want to buy them. Some of our ministry partners have gone to outlet stores asking for a reduced price. We welcome sleepers!FABRICS that are needed vary with each year. The best way for you to help is to stay current with the monthly newsletters and when we have a specific need we will communicate it.
ENCOURAGEMENT GIFTS are always needed for women of the church and orphanage directors. Things that are always welcome are bath and body lotions.
HELP FUND THE GIFT OF CHRISTIAN BOOKS in Russian. We are able to buy direct from many of the Russian publishers and avoid shipping and customs costs. Your financial gifts help us do more of this.
We also purchase Christian coloring books for the Russian children. We want to get as many good Christian resources into the church as possible. We will do the shopping for you in Russia. We pay $3 per book in Russia. How many can you help us with?
SHIPPING AND STORAGE ARE COSTLY The only means we have of getting things delivered safely is in suitcases of trip participants and others traveling to and from Russia throughout the year. The added cost of taking a suitcase right now is $50 per bag.
Storage in Russia is limited and expensive. Help us with a donation for shipping and storage expenses for the gifts you are giving.
- Buy a storage wardrobe. One wardrobe for storage is $1,000.
- Rent of a room for sewing groups, office and storage in Russia is $8,400 per year.
