Mission

Established in 1985, World Emergency Relief (WER) is an interdenominational fellowship of Christians worldwide, working together to help people in need. Since 1991, WER has been a leader in promoting the responsible and ethical use of gifts-in-kind at our own projects worldwide, as well as projects we share with other outreaches. WER receives daily requests for commodities. We verify needs and cultural appropriateness of supplies we can procure. We then seek those supplies from corporate donors and other charities. Before shipping, we check that supplies are safe and usable, and we often must obtain import permission from foreign embassies in the U.S.
