Rice initiative

In addition to sending containers of goods to our partners around the world, the Salvatorian Mission Warehouse also coordinates and pays for the delivery of loads of rice to our missions.

Rice is a dietary staple for those in Africa, but extreme drought sometimes means it is unavailable or not affordable for those who rely on it.

In 2024, we shipped 20 containers to eleven countries: Ghana, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Kenya, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Syria and Tanzania. These containers contained close to 830,000 of humanitarian aid for people in need.

We currently work with 16 mission partners in 12 countries, which include Ghana, Philippines, Haiti, Panama, Honduras, Paraguay, Turkey/Syria, Tanzania, Guatemala, Peru, Kenya and St. Lucia.

The Salvatorian Mission Warehouse sends an average of two containers per month to Missions around the world. In these containers we pack life essentials such as food, clothing, tools, medical supplies, and other various necessities. Most of our donations for our containers come from our corporate sponsors, but we use monetary donations to purchase containers and cover shipping fees and for requested items that aren't able to be donated.
