In-kind Donations
In-Kind Donations PolicyInternational Child Care makes every effort to purchase items locally to stimulate the economies in Haiti and the Dominican Republic. We also try to keep our costs down by avoiding expensive overseas shipment when possible. Because of this, we are only able to accept a few specific types of donated items. Please note that the acceptance policy is subject to change at the discretion of the ICC National Directors, based on current program needs. Items for Our MissionHere are some of the items we can usually accept: Healthy Birth Kits – Go to our Healty Birth Kits page for more information on how to make them and where to send them Personal Care Kits – Get instructions for making personal care kits for children who are discharged from Grace Children’s Hospital Handmade gowns and diapers for the children at Grace Children’s Hospital – The short-sleeve or sleeveless hospital gowns tie at the back and a variety of sizes are needed (more small than large). There is no particular pattern for the gowns, and you can make them from any lightweight fabric such as cotton. The hospital uses cloth diapers with ties, as shown in this pattern. Certain medical supplies and equipment – For safety reasons, all donations of medical supplies and equipment must be approved by the medical staff in Haiti or the Dominican Republic before they can be transported to the field. We can NEVER accept expired medicines or equipment that is not in safe, working order. Our Medical Needs list describes some of the commonly needed medical items at Grace Children’s Hospital. We encourage anyone with medical items to donate to contact us for more information before shipping or carrying anything into Haiti or the Dominican Republic. If you have items like used clothes, stuffed toys or travel-sized toiletries that don’t fit with ICC’s current needs, try contacting a local non-profit organization, such as a homeless shelter or children’s services department, that might be able to put them to good use right in your own community. Where Do I Send Things?We partner with the Midwest Mission Distribution Center (MMDC) for shipment of our Healthy Birth Kits, gowns, and diapers into Haiti. These items can be labeled “Grace Children’s Hospital, Port-au-Prince, Haiti” and sent to: Midwest Mission Distribution Center For more information about MMDC, visit their website. Financial contributions to support the cost of transporting donated items are always welcome. You can give online and indicate the gift is for shipping costs in the comments section of the online donation form. Thank you for your generosity and eagerness to support ICC’s programs in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
