Operation Mobilization (OM), an international Christian mission agency with its US office in Tyrone, is working directly with Kosovo refugees in Albania, providing relief supplies and care.

OM's full-time Albania team permanently based in the country is working in partnership with other agencies and with local Albanian churches.

OM has received more than 24 tons of food and medical supplies, some provided by other aid organizations and from the government of Finland, is operating two refugee centers in Durres, is helping in other refugee camps and is providing food to many who are living on the streets unable to get into overcrowded camps. In addition to food and medicine, teams are providing clothing, shoes, blankets and toiletries.

OM is also working in partnership with Global Care, a UK-based relief organization, to operate a feeding tent on the border crossing at Kukes, feeding approximately 5,000 per day.

Operation Mobilization, a 42-year-old organization, has 2,800 workers serving in more than 85 countries around the world and onboard two ocean-going mission ships. The local office in Tyrone serves as the home base for the approximately 500 Americans working with OM.

To make tax-deductible contributions to relief work among Kosovo refugees in Albania, checks payable to OM may be mailed to Operation Mobilization, P.O. Box 444, Tyrone, GA 30290. OM belongs to the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA) and is audited annually by an independent auditing firm.
