We send things home — together.
Community Drives are how the diaspora puts physical goods and targeted dollars in front of the people who need them in Iwere Land. Food when the river is high. School kits when September comes. Nets for the fishermen on the Forcados. Every drive runs on a published cycle, with a published manifest, signed for on the receiving end.
Five drives. Each one targeted, dated, and reported.
Click any drive to see its manifest, cycle calendar, and the ways you can help.
Food Drive
Rice, garri, beans, palm oil, dried fish, infant formula. Staples that fill the kitchen when the river is high or the harvest is short.
Back-to-School Drive
Notebooks, pens, school uniforms, sandals, backpacks, calculators. The basic kit a child needs to walk into school on the first day with everyone else.
Fishing Net Drive
Fishing nets, gear, outboard parts, refrigeration ice, and fuel-cost subsidy for the riverine villages whose livelihood is the river itself.
Holiday Cheer Drive
December packages for elders, widows, and orphanages. Wrappers, foodstuff, and a Christmas envelope from the diaspora.
Emergency Relief Drive
The drive that doesn't have a calendar. When the Forcados floods or fuel shocks displace a community, the Patrons Council activates and every Region pivots to relief.
Four steps. Diaspora to dock to delivery.
Every drive follows the same operating pattern, ratified at Convention 2026.
Drive opens with a published cycle.
Pillar 03 + Region committees publish the drive cycle — open date, close date, target households or schools or villages, and the dollar / in-kind ask. Posted on this page and to every Region channel.
Regions pack U.S.-side.
Each Region runs a packing event or a fundraising push. Goods consolidate at a designated port (Houston for Texas Regions, NY/NJ for the Northeast). Cash flows through the standard donation channel under a fund tag.
Container moves · Niger-Delta-side signs.
Shipment manifest is published before the container leaves port. Niger-Delta-side Region partners (or village heads, or school principals, depending on drive) sign for the goods on receipt.
Goods placed · the receipts come back.
Distribution event happens with photos and household/school/village tally. Within 14 days a public report posts to /about-us/financials showing dollars in, goods out, who received what.
Every drive dollar is bound by the same 85¢ floor as our other programs.
The Constitution ratified at Convention 2026 binds INC-USA to a minimum 85% program-spend ratio across all programs, including drives. Emergency Relief drives carry a tighter 95¢/$1 floor — disaster dollars don’t pay for office staplers.
Per-drive cycle reports publish to the Financials page inside 14 days of distribution, and roll into the annual Form 990 disclosure.
Pick a drive. Pick a number. Send it home.
$25 fills a household for a week. $35 puts one child in school. $65 puts a fisherman back on the water. $50 makes December a little less lonely for an elder. Pick the one that fits.
