Hospital Sisters Mission Outreach cares for people in need through recovery and world-wide distribution of life-saving medical supplies and equipment. Mission Outreach was founded in 2002 with the mission of addressing the unmet needs of low resource communities around the world by collecting, repairing, packaging, and distributing medical supplies and equipment to underserved hospitals and clinics in need. To date, 530 medical organization have been equipped with medical supplies and equipment, providing medical staff with the tools necessary to provide healing and hope.
Chill the World is part of the product donation pillar of Helmer Scientific’s generosity platform. Helmer recently donated 32 refrigerators and freezers to Mission Outreach. These life-saving devices will be distributed throughout the year to multiple hospitals and clinics in underserved areas of the world and will be used to store blood supplies and medicines.
Matt Schafer, a tech service manager at Helmer, oversees the donations to recipients who receive the Chill the World products. “When selecting a donation partner, we look for a cause that fits our generosity culture,” said Schafer. “Mission Outreach is dedicated to serving others through respect, care, competence and joy. They are passionate about making a difference, and so are we.”
In addition to the Mission Outreach donation, Helmer also recently donated 30 refrigerators to Supplies Over Seas (SOS), an organization that recovers and sends medical supplies and equipment to meet critical health care needs in impoverished communities around the world.
