We have seen desperate poverty this year. Delivering food to an elderly man in Appalachia, we saw a man who was chopping up the floorboards of his home for heat. This is just one of the sad and heartbreaking examples of the poverty our Medical Missionaries volunteers witness daily.
It has been a busy month at the Medical Missionaries office. People stop by daily with donations of clothing, medical supplies and equipment, food, household items, and hygiene products
St. Joseph Clinic’s Breadfruit Project continues to grow and make progress in helping to combat malnutrition in Thomassique, Haiti.
In October Medical Missionaries held the yearly Caring Hearts Online Auction, loaded containers that are being sent overseas to help multiple organizations, began a food and toy drive for those in need in Appalachia.
Read about donations from St. Luke Community Clinic, Caring Hearts Online Auction, update on St. Joseph Clinic and the sad news of the passing of former board member Ron Burrell.
Peter’s life was a faith-filled journey. On the afternoon of May 11, 2020, he took the next step of his journey to be with God as he passed away at home, surrounded by family.
Peter worked with many organizations but Medical Missionaries was very close to his heart.
On April 4th, 2020 we had a fire on the roof of St. Joseph Clinic in Haiti. The fire destroyed solar panels, batteries and other equipment in the roof structure where it was held. Luckily, no one was injured.
