During the few months prior to each trip, the team gathers hundreds of T-shirts and ball caps, sunglasses and reading glasses, and thousands of hotel-size soaps, shampoos, and lotions.  We also take hundreds of toothbrushes, and toothpaste tubes, and usually carry about $30,000 worth of medications and drugs.  We would like to thank everyone who has donated items and money  for this mission trip.

 

Medicines, vitamins and drugs.

 

Soaps, lotions, toothpaste and toothpaste.

 

 

Most of this collects in the  Stauffer garage, where it piles up until the big "packing party".
