Items Needed
The material needs in the countries served by Food For The Poor are vast and varied: they range from essential items — such as lifesaving food — to clothing, building supplies and basic furnishings.
Depending on the specific needs in the areas we serve, our Goods in Kind Department will sometimes solicit items directly from organizations that may be able to donate the particular goods.
But many kinds of donations are gratefully received. The following lists show the scope of items that are needed in poverty-stricken countries.
