GIFTS IN KIND
Giving gifts-in-kind (GIK) is a type of charitable giving in which, instead of giving money to buy needed goods and services, the goods and services themselves are given. As Christians, we give because sharing with those in need is at the core of the Gospel. Please remember that the contents of the boxes we ship reflect the love of Christ to those in need around the world. So, be sure the gently used clothing and other items are clean and in very good condition.
