Support-A-Widow
Needy widows, widowers, and abandoned wives are some of the most vulnerable people in economically depressed areas. A donation of $59 provides them with a 35-pound parcel of food, a Christian family magazine, healthcare items, and $10 cash (or its equivalent in food items). In 2018, supporters provided a total of 20,570 parcels for recipients in Liberia, Haiti, Nicaragua, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, the Middle East, and various other places.
