You can find a list of addresses by region here: Karen's Adoption Links - Directory of Russian Orphanages However, especially if you don't care which orphanage it goes to, you might want to try to find people to take things over for you, even if it's a little bit at a time. I have heard that even though you pay to ship your donation over, sometimes the orphanages are charged fees (duty?) by the postal service. If they can't pay the fees on their end, they can't get the donation box... and so it sits. If you're working (or worked) with an agency, maybe they could help coordinate families who would be willing to carry your donations over.

Yep
Yep - they are in Khabarovsk, and minister to all the orphanages there. They are wonderful folks - I know them personally.

Donations
We too had hoped to send gently used clothes overseas to find that the orphanages would be charged fees they might not be able to afford. I've also heard that items are often stolen too.
We have made donations to Childvision, and I will look into one mentioned above.
