For years, gifts in kind—or donations of items—have played an important role in IOCC’s humanitarian service. Large deliveries of goods like mattresses, emergency kits, school supplies, blankets, and more both in the US and around the world meet the practical human needs of people facing crisis.
IOCC recently delivered two shipping containers of essential medical supplies to a partner in South Sudan. Items like prenatal vitamins, baby blankets, surgical gowns, gloves, masks, and more reached over a dozen clinics and health-focused organizations serving some of the most vulnerable and remote communities in South Sudan.
Shipments of medical supplies have long been a staple of IOCC’s gifts-in-kind program. Over the years, IOCC has provided similar shipments to Armenia, Greece, and Kenya, to name just a few. These essentials help ensure that partners and other service organizations around the world have what they need to care for patients, often in places that, like South Sudan, are facing tremendous hardship or crisis.
IOCC is grateful to have a network of partners that allows us to serve more people in need through this important program.
