July is Disability Pride Month and today National #disability Independence Day, so we want to applaud our partners and friends who work to support quality of life programming for those with mobility challenges. From hosting wheelchair repair and cleaning clinics, to providing free maintenance and mobility equipment to local youth on the Louisville Lightening basketball team, SOS is committed to meeting these needs in our community whenever we can.
We're happy to share this picture from Jane, a doctor and full time #missionary who has been working in Ecuador for 23 years. SOS sent her 50lb of supplies for a clinic in San Lorenzo, Ecuador earlier this year. The staff was very grateful and immediately put the supplies to use in assisting patients. Jane plans to visit the US next year and come to SOS to meet the team and pick up more supplies.
Here's to growing partnerships and reaching a new community in need in #ecuador!
The Rotary Club of Louisville hosted a new members event here at SOS. While at the warehouse, new members shared a pizza dinner while learning about the mission and the Rotary's relationship with SOS. The group sorted airway devices by date and sorted expired emergency incubation kits, all items used in anesthesia.
Lindsay Wayne, a veterinary science teacher from Taylor County Schools, shared, ”We appreciate you all so much! This is financial support for our kiddos. We don’t have money allocated for these ‘consumables’ and how do you teach cutting pills without pill cutters? I could talk all day about the difference this will make in our classrooms. I won’t have eight students sharing suturing kits. This means they will get to perfect skills they will be using in their careers– some right out of school. And it’s so full circle. You are supporting future vets, farmers, medical professionals– they feed the world, heal the world and support each other. It’s beautiful!
Today we give a HUGE shout out and thank you to all the SOS staff!
These folks are not only calm, confident and collected when things get hectic at the warehouse, but they so often go above and beyond to advance global health by making connections, working outside of "office" hours, and getting it done whatever it takes - because they CARE. They are the heart of our mission and we can't do any of this without their talent, focus, and dedication.
Let's hear it for Giovani Nunes Oliveira, Demetrius Wingate, Brian L. Jointer, Chanda Fowler, Sue Davis, Sarah Mayer, Freweini Mebrahtu, Christine L. Fellingham, Dennis Loeser, Raymond Cosby, Nick Loeser, Arreon Holt, Parker Schnell, and our incredible leader and CEO, Denise Sears.
We have a special thank you to share for today's #cheersforourvolunteers. This is our Tuesday crew... they're a lively and dedicate bunch, many of whom worked for UofL Health - Jewish Hospital. There's even a University of Louisville student, Jada Blakmore, who volunteers while she's finishing her Master's degree.
Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, to our wonderful Tuesday volunteer crew including Julie State, Nelson Worden, Judy Ryan, Ginny Sims, Rene Kurwski, Gayle Newcom, Theresa Saunders and others! ... See MoreSee Less

Thank you to everyone who has been purchasing essential hygiene items for back to school and to those who recently purchased pain relievers for our Senegal container! Your generosity is spreading hope and health. ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you, Louisville! We could not have made this happen without you.
We asked for help and you answered the call in a big way! Our CEO & President Denise Sears and Aesha of Aesha's African Baskets and Home Goods as well as the whole team here at SOS are so grateful for all of your support in making this dream of sending more than $400,000 worth of medical supplies to Senegal a reality!
Watching these containers leave the SOS warehouse is an incredible reminder of what we can accomplish when we come together. Thank you to all of our healthcare partners, including Norton Healthcare, Baptist Health, UofL Health, who donate surplus supplies that can go to areas in desperate need. #healthequity 🙌🙌🙌

Signs of back to school are showing up at SOS, and we love seeing the smiles on these teachers and educators faces!
SOS is dedicated to advancing medical education and helping teachers stretch limited classroom budgets by "shopping" for free supplies from SOS. Our Education Manager Chanda Fowler recently presented at the Kentucky Association for Career and Technical Education (KACTE) summer conference and made new connections with schools around the state. Those who recently came to shop include Academies of Frederick Douglass High School, North Bullitt High School, Johnson Central High School News/Events, and Corbin Area Technology Center.
