On Wednesday, March 3rd, the United Methodist Children’s Home donated unused furniture to Global Impact, Inc., a locally-run international humanitarian relief organization.  Located in Prattville, Alabama, Global Impact is a nonprofit, 501-C-3 corporation registered as a Private Voluntary Organization with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).  Global Impact partners with missionary groups, churches, and other organizations to provide humanitarian aid for missionaries in third world countries. 

 

In this case, Global Impact partnered with Chaplain Curtis Browder and the Montgomery Rescue Mission Faith Crusades/Haiti.  Chaplain Browder has 144 children under his care in Haiti, and the Children’s Home donation — including beds, mattresses, cribs, and tables – will be shipped to Haiti for their use.  The surplus of furniture from the unused Selma campus cottages was too plentiful to be incorporated into the other UMCH group homes around the state, and, consequently, the furniture will help fill a huge need in Haiti.

 

Global Impact stores donations like this one locally in donated semi-trailers until the items can be shipped.  To transport such large donations, Global Impact works with the Denton Program, which provides free shipping on U.S. military aircraft in the Western Hemisphere, and USAID, a government agency that provides shipping containers with the State Department for transporting cargo from Global Impact’s door to the destination’s closest port.  These programs are used by private volunteer organizations and charities that want to provide aid to other nations but in the private sector.

 

For more information on Global Impact, Inc., call Pat Boles, Secretary, at (334) 358-8580 or visit http://www.goglobalimpact.com/index.html.  For more information on the Montgomery Rescue Mission and Faith Crusades/Haiti visit http://www.montgomeryrescuemission.org/ or email Chaplain Browder at chaplaincb@yahoo.com.
