Volunteering in a variety of capacities
plays an important role in sustaining and developing
Mustard Seed Communities. For us, it is a great way
to bring on board new skills, abilities, experiences
and points of view. For you, it is an opportunity to
lend your time, talents and treasures to help the least
of our brethren (Luke 9:48). Rumor has it, you'll get
back much more than you give... God's plan for you is
amazing!
How can I help?
There are several ways that you can contribute to the
efforts of MSC, Inc. Whether you give your time, money,
prayer, or miscellaneous household items... we gratefully
accept it all! Getting involved in a mission
trip is one way you can become involved. This is
an amazing way to experience Mustard Seed Communities
up close and to interact with the incredible children
and staff of Mustard Seed. If you are not called to
serve as a missionary, you can help by donating financial
or material resources (please see our wishlist below
of material items for details). All contributions are
greatly appreciated and much needed. See the donations
section of this website for financial donation options.
Please pray for us! More than anything else, we need
your prayers!

Corporations that have excess supply or 'out of season'
inventory can support Mustard Seed Communities by donating
those goods. Contact Laura Doherty, Executive Director for details.
We remain in constant need of materials, medicines,
computers, furnishings, clothing, diapers, and building
materials. If your company is capable of donating these
materials, we can arrange complimentary shipping to
the missionary locations. While we accept any quantity
you offer, we can arrange for pickup from your facility
for truckload sized donations. For smaller donations
in the Atlanta area, we can also arrange pickup. For
materials that can be packaged and shipped, we would
be grateful if you considered shipping directly from
your packaging facility - we can provide the appropriate
mailing information. Contact Crista Vasina for more details.

We gladly accept donations of any kind, especially professional

for you. Any materials, furnishings, clothing, linens,
