MCO Donates it Services for Liberia Relief

WILMINGTON - MCO Transport donated its services to the Wrightsboro Methodist Church this past week, transporting a 40 foot ocean container from Wilmington to the state port in Charleston, SC.  

 

The container, fully loaded with 65,000 meals along with various donated items such as computers, clothing and tools was loaded on the vessel Troense Maersk destine for Monrovia, Liberia. From there it will be delivered to the missionary Frido Kinkolenge, who takes children of war-torn Liberia under his wing giving them hope through education.

 

"Most of all, Frido needed food", explained Revered Bill Haddock of the Wrightsboro Methodist Church. "Children are eating roots, tree leaves, and sometimes dirt in order to survive".  

 

The church linked with the Raleigh-based nonprofit group StopHungerNow to produce the 65,000 meals. 270 volunteers showed up on December 2nd to assemble the 65,000 meal into sealed pouches. Each child is allotted only one meal a day.    

 

The container, marked JOHN 1718, made the 360 roundtrip trek to Charleston on December 20th powered by an MCO driver using a company owned tractor and chassis. MCO is honored to have been part of such an important cause.
