What Happens to Donated Supplies?

Volunteers sort and pack donated supplies into suitcases.

Travelers then carry those suitcases to their destinations. These travelers include tourists, medical and faith missionaries, and community development volunteers.

Each suitcase contains a letter in the recipient’s language explaining that the traveler is delivering the contents to a medical facility. The medical professional who receives the supplies signs a copy of the letter, which the traveler brings home as proof of delivery.
