BECOME A PERMANENT COLLECTION SITE
Our goal is to have a Network of Permanent Collection Sites in each state in the Midwest. We would like these sites to be in various regions of each state (Northeast, Northwest, Southwest, Southeast & Central). This would allow peopke to have a Collection Site within a couple of hours from their location.
​
Your church or business could be a Permanent Collection Site!
All you need is:
-
Space to store items
-
Availability to assist people when they drop off items
-
Willing hearts and hands!
​
If you are interested in becoming a Permanent Collection Site, please contact teresa@midwestmission.org for more information.
God has provided for all our needs. We need help to distribute His blessings.
