During a previous trip to Belize, Brainard mentioned to Nick that it’s cheaper to feed people in Belize than to clothe them. With that in mind, I brought some clothes down to Belize that my girlfriend Nat and I donated. As you can see from the picture above, Nat’s clothes were on the nicer side, while I had some flannel and denim shirts with me. Brainard assured us that all would be put to good use.

So if you’re planning to come on a mission trip (especially to Belize), pack an extra bag with some clothes to donate. They’ll get a lot of use down here, maybe more than in your closet at home.
