We are doing good deeds. Summit Missions International is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. As a nondenominational Christian mission it is committed to being an ambassador of hope and help. Through relief products, service projects and international partnerships SMI demonstrates God’s love in action.

We are committed to assisting the local church. Christ said He would build His church. SMI believes there is a biblical basis for relief and ministry to the poor. As the goods are distributed, recipients can be pointed toward God, His love for them and their need for a personal relationship with God through Christ. The Church can serve as a conduit for disseminating physical help with spiritual hope and then follow up on the needy in their communities.

We are using donated community resources. Donations of products and finances to SMI are tax deductible in accordance with prevailing tax guidelines. Relying on these donations from the community, SMI sorts, packs, loads and ships containers of products for distribution primarily in Eastern Europe. A container is forty feet long, eight feet high and wide and can hold up to 42,000 pounds of products.

We are operating in a cost effective way. Container shipping costs can be as high as $18,000 depending on its destination and cargo. An average cost is normally between $8,000 and $14,000 without any products inside. SMI is able to fill and ship a container of products at a significantly lower cost. Because SMI is a mission with the goal of collecting and sending helpful products, it operates without profit and endeavors to cover actual expenses. Normally SMI cargo is shipped for less than .22 per pound for delivered products. We do this by utilizing donated resources, donated labor and reduced shipping costs available to us through our network of partners.

We have dedicated and responsible partners. SMI has a corps of volunteer workers who are committed to helping others. Additionally, our criteria for shipment and distribution require registered consignees who receive the goods and insure their distribution to credible recipients. We are pleased to have reliable partners who meet all standards for proper distribution.
