Care Convoy January 2012

The care Convoy started out informally several years ago with equipment being taken down during trips to the Baja races by rescue teams.  We started the official Care Convoy trips Nov. 2010.  What have we done since the start of the formal trips in November 2010?

We delivered $76,000 in supplies and equipment to Mexico in 2010.  These supplies and equipment were donated by Fire and Ambulance groups.

2011 saw us deliver over $2 million in supplies and equipment donated by not only fire and Ambulance but also by hospitals, clinics, private individuals, government entities, and corporations.  The items donated grew from EMS and fire to other medical equipment/supplies, ambulances, rescue equipment/supplies, medications, computers, and almost any other items that we could find a match between donors and people in need.

We currently have over $500,000 donated items stored waiting for delivery either to Mexico  or to any of the other groups we are working with in Pakistan, Africa, Haiti, and other countries/regions.

The dollar amount used to move this project from zero to over $2 million was approx.$15,000 and a lot of donated time, services, and other.

Our sponsors include private individuals, public agencies, fire departments, Ambulance departments, clinics, hospitals, corporations, businesses, and others.  A partial list:
