Project AGAPE

Project AGAPE, a ministry to Armenia and to some of our most desperate Christian brothers and sisters, is a collaborative effort of the North Carolina and the Western North Carolina Conferences of The United Methodist Church in a joint effort with the Armenian Apostolic Church. 

AGAPE = American Greater Armenian Partnership Efforts

Project AGAPE brings hope to vulnerable children.

Packing Instructions and Project AGAPE/UMCOR Drop-Off Locations

  • Please pack all items in the smallest box that is appropriate.  Recommended box size is 16” X 12” X 12” since boxes of that size can be reused as part of a shipment.
  • List the contents on the outside of the box.
  • Also, pack the boxes as full and tight as possible.  That prevents boxes from being crushed as they are stacked in the warehouse awaiting the sorting process.
  • If at all possible, avoid using plastic bags, since they are easily torn and do not stack well on pallets.
