About this facility

Mission: FRIEND SHIPS SUPPORTERS
Friend Ships is supported primarily by private individuals, church and corporate donors. All those who join Friend Ships, serve as full time volunteers. No one receives a salary. As we work together to provide millions of dollars worth of food and supplies to those in need each and every year, corporations provide critical products or services, free of charge, or give us their first-rate products to deliver to victims of disaster, war or poverty. Sometimes they even give us ships! Trucking companies, airlines and railroads provide free transportation for donated goods. Seaports waive all fees so that our ships may visit their countries. Governments allow us to have the free use of buildings, equipment and ship berths so that our operations may flourish.
Areas served: Gulf
Eligibility: Impacted by Haiti Earthquakes 2010
Service: Temporary

READY TO RESPOND

When a situation calls for Friend Ships services, we are uniquely set up to respond like none other!

Some disasters will occur for which Friend Ships help is
not appropriate, either because other response groups are
closer to the situation, others are more suited to respond
or because the help we offer is not needed in that particular
situation. We will not respond in those cases, but commit to
making the best use of donor support by responding when our
specific services are required and we feel led by God that
our work will be effective and blessed.

See Website for more details!!!
E-mail: info@friendships.org

Friend Ships role has returned to supporting other faith based
groups in their roles. We are not directly working with the
public now, but are behind the scenes, supporting other groups
(churches, food banks, etc.) to do their tasks.�
