Bring items to donate and mingle with your fellow volunteers.
You can donate general items from the wish list below. If you currently sponsor a student, now is your opportunity to safely send a personal gift or letter directly to your sponsored child. For personal gifts, please label your item with the child’s name to ensure it reaches them.
Other options for donating to the Balikbayan Box Drive
You can make an online donation, and we will forward the funds to our in-country staff so they can shop for supplies for our families.
Please note: Our office is located in a commercial building that is open during office hours only. We cannot take delivery on weekends or after hours.
