The Message Program

Vision: The MESSAGE Program will share our gifts with those in need.
Mission: The MESSAGE Program will realize our vision by providing logistical movement of donated material resources and education. We will create a sustainable program to assist domestic professionals who serve the impoverished to increase the level of basic care.

Description:
The MESSAGE Program collects donations of Medical, Dental, Fire equipment, and general aid supplies. The process includes, sorting, inventorying and packing the items for shipment. Donations are then transported by air, land and sea to third world destinations. Upon arrival the donations are gifted out to facilities and people who provide assistance to the poor.

Volunteer opportunities are available for individuals and groups. Volunteers are needed to assist in sorting through donations and repacking and inventorying them for shipment.

History:
The Message Program is a grass roots 100% volunteer organization. It was started in 2003 by Karin Reichensperger after she spent time volunteering abroad. Through the donations from a medical supply company, hospitals, medical clinics, nursing homes and the public millions of dollars worth of equipment and supplies have been shipped. This was accomplished through the generosity of our dedicated volunteers and donors.
