The METS process
The effort is fourfold:
|
1. Collecting donated medical equipment and
supplies.
|
|
2. Performing the logistics of sorting, repairing,
weighing and storing of materials in a central
warehouse.
|
|
3. Matching inventory to International needs.
|
|
4. Packing and shipping containers
worldwide.
| |
|
The operating budget for METS is supported by annual
contributions from the clubs of District 6920. At the 2003 District
Conference the membership voted to support the project by
contributing $15.00 per member per year.
METS has a 6,250 Sq. Ft. warehouse in the Savannah, Georgia area
which is used to sort, itemize, store and distribute all donated
supplies and equipment.
If you have expertise in medical equipment , warehousing,
container shipping, or have the ability to help us acquire used
equipment, or just want to roll up your sleeves and get involved,
then you should contact us.

International Glenn Estess cuts the ribbon to open our
warehouse.
