How to DONATE SUPPLIES

If you have a large amount to supplies to donate, the easiest thing to do is buy a Balikbayan box and ship it to us in the Philippines. Please email us first though, with details of what you propose to send.

If you are part of a church, social or healthcare organisation and wish to collect things regularly for us, let us know and you can become an official donations partner with us.

If you have a smaller amount of supplies to donate, you could arrange to drop it off (or have it picked up by) one of our regional donations partners.
