The NIC Board of Global Ministries thanks the more than 60 churches who helped fill the truck for the Annual Conference mission challenge. We collected nearly 4,500 pounds (and still counting) of most-needed items for the Midwest Mission Distribution Center (MMDC)! An additional $700 plus in cash was donated. Special thanks to the youth and adult volunteers from Our Redeemer's UMC in Schaumburg who helped take in the donations, even in the rain. Watch a video update from Chantel Corrie, MMDC's Executive Director.
The board is working with the Midwest Mission Distribution Center to accept the above "Most Needed Items" and any MMDC kits, treadle sewing machines, gently used hand tools, and new or slightly used medical supplies and equipment. MMDC typically sends medical supplies, including wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, canes, orthopedic supplies and shower chairs internationally.
Drop off your donations at the MMDC truck located in the east parking lot outside the Schaumburg Convention Center during Annual Conference on
Wednesday, June 8, 11 am - 4 pm and Thursday, June 9, 7 am - 2 pm.
Please Note: MMDC is unable to accept medications, bedside commodes, electric sewing machines, power or rusty tools, tricycles, scooters, bike parts, or any bike that is rusty or cannot be repaired.
