Project S.A.V.E.'s  100th shipment
heads to Liberia!

Saturday, March 23, 2013, marked a milestone in Project SAVE history as we packed and loaded our 100th 20 ft. container, headed for Liberia. It will be sent to a hospital, owned and operated by Firestone Rubber Co., who also takes care of all transportation costs for the container. 

Our next shipment will be to El Salvador, and will mark the 41st country we have donated good to. As always, thank you to all our wonderful volunteers for getting us to these miraculous milestones! Read the full story here.

Local family donates  deceased child's  medical supplies

In June of last year a family came out to Project SAVE with a truck and SUV filled with child-related medical supplies. They had just lost their little son, Ethan. Our hearts ached for them and I think all of us who helped receive the supplies were teary as well, sharing in their loss. We assured them we would try to find a good home for their supplies. We sent Ethan's wheelchair with his name inscribed on the back of it to Papua, New Guinea. Some of the more difficult-to-place items left this last month in the shipment to Uganda with Zest4Kidz, a hospital for disabled children. Read the full story here.

The bus is in great condition, but we need your help! Read the full story here.
