Thank you

Thank you to EZ Mart, Docomo Pacific, AA Enterprises, and individuals in the community for supporting the Empty Vessel Ministry.

Empty Vessel wishes to thank individuals, businesses, and organizations for the overwhelming support for our garage store in Gualo Rai. We are so touched by your generosity and we are happy to help out families looking for affordable items. Thank you all for your generosity.

We are turning your gifts and donated items into good use and enable low-income families to receive free or affordable items. Both new and used clothing and other items are generously helpful to support our programs. We request that all donations be in good condition so that they are useful to someone else. Many families have benefited from variety of donation; therefore if anyone has clothes, shoes, utensils and any items he or she wants to donate, we will be happy to receive them at Empty Vessel. If you are leaving the island, kindly consider donating your items instead of throwing them way. Someone’s throwaway could be someone else precious treasure.

EZ Mart located in Gualo Rai has profound spirit of helping others who are in need. A medium-sized store selling all kinds of products to meet the needs of every Saipan citizens, it operates daily and still finds precious time to recognize isolated needs of others just like Empty Vessel.

Empty Vessel is grateful and appreciates any kind of donation like the owners of EZ Mart who have donated 681 hats, valued at $1,043, for helping the Gualo Rai Garage Sale store operation and mission. Thank you to AA Enterprises for their support with garage space.

Large operation companies are greatly helpful to small non-profit organizations by helping their daily operation or sponsoring important events like the Saipan’s Next Top Chef competition, which took place in PIC last year. Docomo Pacific is one example of distinguished companies who generously donated $500 in supporting the Saipan’s Next Top Chef event in 2013. We extend our appreciation to Docomo Pacific for their helping hand with Empty Vessel.

Other ways you can help us is by sponsoring a child in Kenya, the Philippines, and Bangladesh for only $30 a month. This will provide education and basic needs for a street child or an orphan. We also support education here on Saipan, therefore we appreciate school supplies donation for our children. Currently, we are collecting school supplies for schools for Rota, so kindly feel free to bring your school supplies donations to Empty Vessel Garage sale store or Empty Vessel booth at the Street Market.

We also believe in empowering women because women ensure that the family is well taken cared of. Because of the generous donation from our supporters, 71 women in Kenya have received small loans for them to start small businesses. On Saipan, we educate and empower women through successful monthly meetings. Willing and interesting guest speakers from the community come to educate women and share knowledge on different issues.
