Where items are unobtainable locally we are able to receive donated goods and equipment specific to the practical needs associated with the mission or the mission partners themselves. Please get in touch with the mission partner who can identify the needs they have and then please send or deliver the goods to our warehouse and we will ship them on the next container.
Donated goods must be securely packaged in boxes (which can be subject to random opening for risk and security purposes) and the destination and contents should be clearly identified with the name of the organisation followed by the individual it's intended for. We cannot accept “personal” goods, and a general contents label of, for example "toiletries" will suffice. If a donor includes their name and address inside the package then most missionaries will return a letter of thanks.
We also purchase goods on behalf of missionaries.
MMN is able to send Layettes for babies being much appreciated by the missionaries and families there. If you would like to make a layette, then the following is a list of suitable items that can be included:
We are able to receive donations of single-vision glasses that are in reasonable condition. They need to be sent to the MMN warehouse where they will be graded and cleaned by our volunteer, John. The glasses will then be sent on shipments to Angola and Zambia.
We are very grateful to the many supporters of the work who have, for many years, purchased and donated medicines to mission hospitals overseas. However, in order to comply with recent government legislation, Medical Missionary News can now only obtain medicines directly from licensed suppliers and consequently we are no longer able to receive donated medicines from any other source.
