Annual Letter From the President

Dear Friends,

Thank you for your unwavering dedication and support over the past 28 years.  Together, we have built Medical Missionaries from a simple organization focused on helping far flung villages in the Dominican Republic and Haiti into a powerful, multi-million dollar force for good, reaching the world’s least fortunate in the United States and abroad..

Our Impact, Powered by You

Our 100% volunteer organization has grown tremendously, enabling us to overcome numerous challenges and touch countless lives—including families, the elderly, disaster victims, pregnant women, children, and Native Americans. This significant impact is made possible by the caring and generosity of donors like you, alongside other committed individuals, civic groups, and religious organizations.

Your contributions are incredibly leveraged:

  • Value Multiplier: Conservative estimates show that every $1 donated to Medical Missionaries generates $75 in value for the recipient.
  • Total Reach: Since our inception in 1997, monetary and medical material donations have resulted in an overall monetary value of $225 million delivered to the poor.

 

Securing Our Future

While Medical Missionaries began with a focus on Haiti and the Dominican Republic, our mission has expanded to provide healthcare support worldwide. This includes an increasing emphasis on helping our struggling local and regional communities, exemplified by our work with the Rocklick Food Pantry in Grundy, Virginia.

To ensure the long-term continuation and success of these vital efforts, Medical Missionaries has taken the proactive step of establishing the Medical Missionaries Endowment Fund. This crucial fund will secure the organization’s financial future, ensuring our shared mission persists for generations.  For information on how you can contribute specifically to the Medical Missionaries Endowment Fund and help secure our future, please reach out to our office today.

Please continue your support, interest, and prayers.  Your generous donations allow us to impact thousands of people every year, making a real difference in the lives of the poorest of the poor.
