This week Midwest Mission received a request from North Star Foundation to fill a shipping container with Rice Meals for Ukraine. Always up for a challenge, Executive Director Chantel Corrie and Operations Manager Brad Walton pulled together a team from the staff to figure out how we could make it happen. Here is the plan:

All next week, we will welcome the public and our regular volunteers to pitch in to assemble 48,000 Rice Meal Bags at our location outside Chatham, IL. The schedule is listed above.

We will also welcome financial donations to help cover the $48,000 cost of the supplies: $1.00 pays for 1 bag which feeds 6 people. $40.00 fills a box and feeds 240 people. $1,200 sends a pallet that feeds 7,200 we need 40 pallets to fill this container.

On Tuesday, April 26 Midwest Mission staff loaded a Food For the Poor container headed to Port Au Prince, Haiti. This is our fourth shipment to Haiti in 2022. We are so excited and grateful to be part of this humanitarian effort that will help so many school children in Haiti.

Staff and volunteers gathered together to pray over the shipment before it left our campus and to thank all of the volunteers and donors who made it possible.

The shipment included:

The shipment was valued at $146,240.00

Dr Edem Agamah and his wife, June, of the International Health and Development Network in Springfield, IL were onsite for the departure of a container of medical supplies bound for the IHDN Mission Hospital in Ghana.
