About Us

There's a wealth of equipment and supplies no longer in use in British Columbia . These materials can be of great use to foreign countries in need of medical and educational supplies. Rotary volunteers throughout British Columbia gather, sort, repair, pack, inventory, and prepare the donated equipment and supplies for shipping. Acting as one central clearing-house makes the collection of usable materials donor-friendly. Basically, we act as a world-wide recycling depot.

We gather the goods for our shipments from hospitals, health care and educational facilities, and various community-minded organizations. To ensure goods reach their intended destination, arrangements are made with a local Rotary Club to act as recipient and distributor of the goods in the receiving country.

Hospitals are built but can't open because they lack beds, supplies and medical equipment. Our shipments have made it possible for many hospitals around the world to serve the people of their community.

We accept medical supplies and equipment ranging from bandages and thermometers to operating tables and wheelchairs. Many countries have schools but no school supplies. Classrooms are run without paper to write on and books to learn from. We accept school texts, writing paper, pens and pencils, educational supplies and equipment.
