Thank you for your interest in supplying needs for KBM Here’s how you can help –

• Send a financial contribution to KBM toward the purchase of the items listed below.
• Share the need with others and as a group raise funds to purchase a large item.
• Donate gently used items. Please contact Jim & Penie Koch to make arrangements to get the items to the container.
• Many items can be purchased on line. If there is a special item you would like to purchase at a national chain, we can possibly make arrangements for you to do that and we will have it picked up or delivered to the location where the container will be loaded.
• PRAY! Prayer always makes a positive impact on projects like this. Pray for funds to fill and ship the container and for the logistics of loading and shipping to go smoothly.
• Ask for donations! If you have a connection with a company that sells, builds or uses any of the items listed, they may want to make a donation or help us purchase items at a wholesale cost.

Most of the supplies listed are for My Father’s House children’s home. We also bring in items needed for our local health clinic, local churches, pastors or friends and children who were once residents with us and now are adults or have returned to their families. You can be assured that KBM shares with those God has put in our care or on our hearts.

We are thankful to USA based ministries who help supply for other ministries. One such ministry is Matthew 25 Ministries in Sharonville, OH. We hope to purchase some basic supplies from this ministry. Matthew 25 packs the goods on skids or in gondolas, 4’x4’ boxes. They charge a fee of $175 for each to cover their expenses.

Items in green are taken care of! Thank you for your help!!!

Items in yellow, we need your help.

Items in red, we really need your help!

Black Shoes for School	We need black shoes for the children, boy and girls sizes 12 child to 12 adult. Any black shoe we can't use we will use to bless other school children!
2 skids of canned food	This helps keep the food budget down.
1 skid of new toys	We’ll use these for birthday and Christmas gifts
1 skid of laundry detergent	We had a skid of this a couple years ago and it lasted about a year. With the amount of laundry we do, this is a great investment!
1 skid of miscellaneous items	Matthew 25 is willing to keep an eye out for the items below and build a skid or so of various items for us.
Copier toner	Cannon MF3110
Baby bed	The one Caleb is in now has been well used and will not hold him much longer. Our Jamaican grandchildren have the others we have brought in in the past.
Rocking chair	a couple would be nice actually
Jogging stroller (large rubber tires)	our roads are pretty rough and we like to take the little ones on walks with us.
Baby swing for inside	Caleb will likely be too big for it soon, but he’s not the last little one we’ll have in the house.
Baby swing for the swing set	We need one secure enough for an infant
3 Sturdy dressers	We always need good sturdy furniture.
Couches	These need to be sturdy as well. Those of you with children know how tough they can be on things.
52” Plasma tv	– just kidding – second hand TV for the children is what we need. We could use 1 more.
4 Step stools	For the little ones to reach the sink and bigger ones the top shelf. We could use 3 more!
	StepRight by Werner Basic Utility Step stool
	StepRight by Werner 3-Step Light Weight Step Stool
Water fountain	One like in public places like schools. This would be a great blessing hopefully eliminating a lot of waste. We have done a bit of research to see what would be best for My Father’s House. One that mounts on the wall would be best so it won’t rust from the floor. A 50/60 cycle electric cooler is needed until we get our electric converted to solar.
2 Outdoor Garbage cans	Those of you who have visited know that our trash collection is extremely unreliable and many good cans are needed.
	TOTER 64 Gallon 2-Wheel Refuse & Yard Waste Cart with Lid (Available at Lowes)
3 Kitchen trash cans	Rubbermaid 52 Qt. Contours flip-top wastebasket Model FG2 69800WHT $10.47 AT HOME DEPOT
Air tight containers for food storage	We need a large selection of all sizes, small – x-large. Older Tupperware would be AWESOME!
Pots and Pans

Dog Kennel	Champion Box Kennel (Available at WalMart)
6 fans	Lasko 20" Cyclone Pivot Fan (Item#16623 Model 3520 at Lowes)
10 sheets of 5/8” construction ply	These would be used to cover windows in future hurricanes.
Treated Lumber	Always needed for future projects.
Front door	Feather River Door Company 36 In. x 80 In. Lakewood Brass C-Arch Fiberglass Med Oak LH Inswing BM - 321401 at The Home Depot $399.00
Lawn Mower	A secondhand lawn mower would be nice. When lawnmowers break down here, it is extremely costly to replace them locally.

Novels	Books appropriate for the children ages 5 - 17.
