What is Packs of Hope?

Packs of Hope is a ministry to the poor in China and Africa. Every year we fill thousands of backpacks with school supplies, toys, and toiletries and give them away to children in need all over China and Africa. We began this project in 2005 by filling several hundred shoe boxes for needy children in rural areas of China. Since that time it has grown to helping more than 1000 children each year.

Since the project began we have distributed over 4.000 boxes/school bags to needy children in both China and Liberia, Africa.

How can I help?

For the month of November we are doing a backpack drive. We are collecting bags filled with school supplies, hygene items and small gifts for needy children throughout China.

Filled bags can be dropped off at the River of Grace Church, The Yard and Obrien's Sandwhich shop in Shunyi and the O'briens located at the Grand Summit in Chaoyang District.
