Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Major Product Donations: Capacity Building
As a medical support and resource organization (MSRO) accredited by the Medsurplus Alliance Taskforce for Global Health, Mission Outreach works with sponsor and recipient organizations to build capacity and infrastructure through donation of substantial medical supplies and biomedical and equipment customized to the needs of qualified recipient organizations. Mission Outreach recipients participate in qualification, needs assessment, on-boarding consultation for biomedical equipment and evaluation to ensure that all donations are appropriate and used safely and effectively. In collaboration with freight-forwarders and international customs agents, Mission Outreach handles logistics for international shipment.
Mission Product Donations: Critical Care
Mission Outreach provides medical supplies to assist U.S. medical missioners and medical providers in low-middle-income countries working collaboratively to meet critical care needs.
Seen as Green Medical Supply
Mission Outreach operations reduces landfill deposits in the midwest by more than 1 million lbs. per year. Usable medical supplies and equipment are distributed to healthcare facilities in low-middle-income countries. Environmentally friendly methods are used to dispose of unusable medical supplies and equipment.
Global Solidarity Volunteer Corps
Members of the Mission Outreach Global Solidarity Volunteer Corps work Monday-Friday and select weekends and evenings to sort, package, box and label medical supplies for distribution to low-middle-income countries. Volunteers are needed for sorting, data entry, crate building and warehouse maintenance.
Biomedical Sourcing and Consultation
