About

Drop Inn Ministries is a Registered Christian Charity that seeks to bring Hope, Help and Healing to a hurting world through providing Humanitarian Aid. Based in Northern Ireland and funded from a chain of Charity Shops throughout Ireland, UK, USA and Canada it works alongside Churches in Africa, Eastern Europe, India, The Philippines, Venezuela, and Haiti. Altogether we provide support today in 15 different countries around the world.

Drop Inn Ministries was founded 16 years ago by Richhill couple Ronnie and Carolyn Dawson who were concerned about young people in the area getting involved in underage drinking. What began as a drop-in centre for young people in Richhill has grown to include the Christian, humanitarian work overseas – as Ronnie says, “There’s no use telling someone that God loves them if they need a pair of shoes” – but still involves youth work at home, with centres in Richhill and Craigavon.

It was from those beginnings that the Ministry took and continues to use its Name, Drop Inn spelt deliberately that way as it said everything about what it wanted to do and still wants to do today. From the story of the Good Samaritan where, “he…. took him (the injured man) to an inn and took care of him.” Luke 10:34
