Global Aid Network, the humanitarian aid arm of Campus Crusade for Christ International, has been blessed to receive a great quantity of life-saving compassionate aid in their Pennsylvania Warehouse.
Hundreds of families, schools, and church groups gathered last week in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, as a part of the Global Aid Network Pennsylvania Warehouse humanitarian aid preparation project
Teams packed and processed items like shoes, vegetable seeds, clothing, CarePacks, Teddy bears and other aid for shipments to various countries such as Africa, Belarus, Central Asia, a Middle Eastern country, Russia, and Ukraine.
This helps give their 2008 ministry year a jumpstart. The aid has been generously donated, systems are in place to ensure it gets to the right people, and volunteers have answered the call of the Great Commission to deliver it to them.
But one crucial element still is needed: shipment overseas.
Because of the tremendous advantage available through economy of scale, the cost for shipment averages out extremely low for each individual item.
For example, each $1.50 donated for shipping could put a pair of shoes on the feet of an orphaned child currently without shoes in the former USSR. And $3.00 can provide a warm jacket to a child facing a harsh winter.
It breaks down to the power of a single dollar shipping $27 worth of aid that gets into the hands of someone who is in desperate need.
