How to Gather Supplies
House of Bread (HOFB) Church of Orangevale, CA has partnered with trusted humanitarian organization Convoy of Hope (COH). HOFB’s strong network and ties in Ukraine combined with COH’s experience in crisis relief distribution has created an unique opportunity to serve the Ukrainian refugee community. Below is a list of the critical items needed at this time and instructions on how to best pack these resources (in pallets only) and schedule pick up:
Supplies

- Mixed pallets of MEDICINE AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES ONLY need to provide ITEMIZED list of contents.
- Products can not be expired and need to have at least 8 months remaining on “best used by” date.
- Due to theft potential, NO labeling boxes of medicines and prescription drugs. Unmarked boxes preferred.
