ANOTHER Angels of Hope Shipment to Guatemala

Angels of Hope Shipment to Guatemala

On Tuesday, March 11, a truck pulled into Midwest Mission, bright and early in the morning. It was pulling a 20ft container that would soon be on its way to Guatemala. 

Like last week’s shipment, this was also an Angels of Hope Shipment.

While talking with our partner, Food For The Poor, it came to our attention that one of the things the children's homes would really like is toys. It so happened that we had several pallets of brand new toys donated by an anonymous corporate donor. So, we were able to add several boxes of toys, along with the normal Angels of Hope items. 

The Personal Dignity Kits give the children hygiene items that they can call their own.

The Home Care Kits and disinfectant wipes provide sanitation to keep the homes clean and healthy.

The Bed Packs, mattresses, and Cover Them With Love Quilts provide a comfortable place to sleep for children who are new to the home. 

Each item that goes with the Angels of Hope shipments has a specific purpose, geared towards children’s homes. Every item that Midwest Mission sends (Angels of Hope and other shipments) is specifically requested, to fulfill specific needs on the other side. 

We are thankful for your overwhelming response to the requests we send out, and to the items in our Kits and Projects brochure. Without you, there wouldn’t be enough items in the warehouse to keep sending shipments! Thank you!
