WELCOME TO MEMO MINISTRIES
Together We Can Save Lives
WELCOME TO
MEMO Ministries
MEMO is a ministry of the Evangelical Free Church of Canada “Serve Beyond”. MEMO’s purpose has been to show the love of God through the provision of redundant hospital equipment and supplies to needy health care facilities. Since 2004, MEMO has shipped over 100 containers to Cuba, El Salvador, Liberia, Nicaragua and Zimbabwe, totaling millions of dollars in equipment and saving countless lives along the way.
MEMO is currently (2023) sending supplies to Zimbabwe to support the Zimbabwe Gecko Society who support nationals caring for 3000 AIDS orphans, six hospitals and six clinics.
MEMO is pleased to state that there is no paid staff and is completely run by volunteers so that every dollar donated goes entirely to support the work.
Explore our website to learn more about the work of MEMO and consider donating to this efficient, effective and exciting ministry today!
LATEST UPDATE
Container #106 On Its Way To Zimbabwe!
Container #106 was packed June 8 and is on its way to Zimbabwe.
What a marvellous crowd we had! Several new people too – fantastic – thank you for joining us! About 40 were out during the day, some starting early and staying to the end; some coming for shorter stints, or starting later.
I don’t want to name names for fear of missing someone. Let me just say that all of those who participated were most valued.
Suffice it to mention three areas:
1. Inside the container packing: a fine crew who spelled each other off at times and kept it going; including moving the crates into the container.
2. The crew inside trailer #1 who did a stellar job moving boxes, finding certain boxes, adding ostomy labels for Kim, and setting aside boxes that were not allowed.
3. The relay team between trailer #1 and the container.
Great job all of you!
It was bit noisy at times inside the echo of the container, but such a blessing. It could not have been done without all of you.
We also broke a record: we were totally packed by 2:15 pm!!!
7 crates; 6 pallets of PPE and hundreds of boxes. 1550 pieces in total!
