One of the first activities we began after the creation of Coastal Connection was the collection of medical and dental supplies and equipment. Most healthcare institutions in the United States have supplies and equipment that are unused, still of value to others, and need to be disposed of in some way. That is where we come in. Through the generous support of CHRISTUS Health and other healthcare organizations, we have begun to collect these excess supplies and equipment and earmarked them for local and international ministries. We have successfully shared with local ministries and ministries in Haiti as well.

Our efforts are made possible on this activity by the generous support of Vintage Realty. The warehouse space we are using affords us a perfect staging area as we collect, sort, and dispense supplies and equipment.

Since our inception, we have delivered four 18-wheelers full of medical supplies to the Hospital Sisters Mission Outreach in Springfield, Illinois. They have agreed to partner with us to facilitate the distribution of needed medical equipment around the world. They are an outstanding ministry that is making a difference for so many. In addition, we have sent multiple shipments of supplies to Haiti.
