Pacific C.A.R.E. Missions collects surplus and outdated (but still good) medical supplies from the many sources in Hawaii, and purchases needed supplies to help those in need. Normally these outdated meds and/or replaced pieces of equipment are still very usable and many times near new. Usually they are taken to a local dumpster and discarded. We have found that there is a great need for these items in our 3rd world Pacific Island Countries where even a Band-Aid is rare and hard to find. We do offer a 501-c3, Federal Tax Deduction for these and any financial gifts. For more information please contact Rich Smith at one of the following:
