Packaged Box Drive:

For those of you who grabbed a box, check out the “How to fill a Box” button below for more info on how to do that!

  • Fill a box as an individual, family, a church small group, neighborhood friends, or a local business.

  • The first filled container will be shipped to Jake’s warehouse on the Poland/Ukraine border ASAP. Each container holds 400 boxes. As soon as the first one is on its way, another empty one will be put in its place.

  • If you have any questions about this process you can reach out to Stephanie Sisemore at stephanie@restoreua.org

  • Let’s partner together as the SLO County community to serve people in desperate need of help!

how did this come about?

  • Jake and Anya Knotts served for 15 years in Ukraine. Anya is Ukrainian and still has family there. Their love for the people of Ukraine has spurred them on to use their local business, logistics expertise, and the larger SLO County community to help!

  • Jake and Anya are the owners of Mid-State Containers. They have placed a 16’ long shipping container at 995 E Grand Ave, Arroyo Grande, the location of the Grace Central Coast Five Cities Campus, next to Banner Coffee.

  • If you would like to donate to Restore UA, you can mail a check to 254 Miller Circle, Arroyo Grande, CA 93420, or you can click the button below.

 

pray for these GRACE MEMBERS who are serving refugees and churches in poland & ukraine, both on the front lines and here at home.
