We began with a collection of donated supplies in a basement and a vision – one to help the poor throughout central Virginia. Quickly, we saw that our home-town ministry became a globally-recognized organization — all by expanding from local missions to national, then international within a year.
Over the last two decades, we’ve responded to natural and man made disasters wherever they struck. We give food, water, blankets to the homeless and place millions of dollars worth of medical supplies in developing nations. We don’t stop there – however we can help, we do.
We step in with a new plush friend for kids when disaster strikes and make sure that our furry friends have a meal and clean water, too. We work hard to make sure that whenever disaster strikes, wherever poverty is a barrier, and whenever our neighbors are in need – we are able to provide. Our passion is humanitarian aid in all it’s forms.
We hope you’ll be able to join us as we continue to fund our humanitarian aid endeavors as we help others – one box at a time.
