Donations in Kind is a project of international significance providing urgently needed goods to areas of need. The project aids neighbouring countries and provinces that are poor and in need or those decimated by conflict or natural disaster. Such communities may have been stripped of the most basic requirements of drink, food and shelter. When considering your clubs annual dispersion of funds, set aside a component to be sent towards the incidental costs of maintaining the DIK store in operation.
