Wish Lists
The next Convoy of Aid leaves the UK at Easter 2009. As usual we need all sorts of aid for Kosovo.

Some of the NGO groups with whom we work in Kosovo often need items that are not in our usual boxes of aid. These are published on our SPECIAL WISH LISTS in the hope that the required items will be donated.

THANK YOU
As always we rely on you, our supporters for your continued help and we'd like to thank you for this. Without you we couldn't do what we do.

These are the wish lists for Easter 2009

Food is always high on the list of essential aid for every convoy and many hundreds of families rely on this food to survive for another six months. Therefore, all the food we take needs to be long dated or non-perishable.

Tined and dried food is ideal. Bulk supplies are always welcomed.
Manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers who would like to donate quantities of food should initially contact Charles Storer Send email  or phone 01277 350660

If you would like to donate any of these items or wish to know more information about the items required, please contact one of your nearest Hope and Aid Direct Members or send an email.

Shop and Drop
days are one of the ways we collect a wide range of food, personal hygiene and cleaning items.

Shoes are always required but these should be hard wearing types and the newer the better. Children's shoes are in particular demand.

Please ensure they are tied in pairs so that they don't get separated during the journey and distribution.

Generous shoppers buy an extra item or two and drop them into one of our collection baskets as they leave the store.

Hope and Aid Direct take aid, not sides and take it where the need is greatest.
