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:
MMN are able to raise funds through the sale of stamps and postcards.
The following list are items we would appreciate receiving:
STAMPS: Definitive/Commemorative stamps mint or used. Those cut from envelopes should have minimum of quarter inch (5mm approx) borders and maximum of one/two inches. Please do not include any damaged stamps. The barcoded stamps are collectable and these can be included when sending bulk stamps to MMN. However, stamps imprinted onto envelopes instead of being stuck on, are not collectable and should not be included.
STAMPS: First Day Covers particularly those dated before 1965, having special postmarks are desirable. Please do not bend them as this seriously reduces their value.
POSTCARDS: All British & foreign postcards, whether old or new are always sought after. Please refrain from removing the stamps from the cards. Any old postcard albums that were put together between 1895 and 1930's are highly desirable and they can fetch good financial returns.
COINS/MEDALS: Coins, paper notes and medallions from any location around the world are greatly appreciated, particularly if they are of reasonable quality and in good condition.
COLLECTIONS: 1) Stamps 2) FDI Covers 3) Postcards 4) Coins/Medallions are always welcomed. Early stamp collections can often be sold bringing greater financial returns for MMN.
If you have any of the above items you would like to contribute towards the ongoing work of MMN, please send them to the MMN office:
