Without the faithful people who serve at the FAME warehouse, your impact—and that of our global partners—would be greatly diminished. But because of dedicated volunteers like you, the reach and influence of FAME around the world is truly staggering!
One such faithful group drives about an hour and a half each month to serve at the warehouse. Many of our volunteer teams do 
the same—and have become vital to the mission! These teams often include a core group of regulars, along with others who rotate in and out. Because they’ve become so familiar with the tasks, the FAME staff can simply get them started and they immediately begin identifying, sorting, counting, labeling, assembling, and preparing medical supplies and equipment for global distribution.
Recently, when one of these groups gathered with our staff in the morning, the conversation turned to the recent FAME Night of Hope Banquet. Many had attended and were still reflecting on the powerful stories shared by our global partners. One woman remarked, “As I listened to the stories about the supplies—how some of them arrived just in time to save lives or start a new clinic—I just kept thinking, ‘We touched those things!’” And she was right—they had!
It may have seemed like a small task—counting IV supplies at a table in Indianapolis—but when a medical provider in another part of the world used those very supplies to start an IV for a dehydrated, fevered child, it became a moment that was life-changing—and life-saving.
The apostle Paul asked, “How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone to preach? And how will they preach unless they are sent?” Then he writes, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring (and send) good news of good things!”
Sometimes the supplies we send are as large as an X-ray machine or an exam table. Other times it’s a box of bandages or a first aid kit assembled at a church gathering.
Every time, you can say: We touched those things.
Whether you sort, go, or send—you are part of life-saving ministry. Your partnership is so valuable to me. Whether you support FAME financially, serve in person at the warehouse, or do both—you are sending healing in Jesus’ name!
If you’re interested in assembling first aid kits at your church, or would like to volunteer at the FAME warehouse (once or regularly), email Tyler at tylerl@fameworld.org and he’ll help you get started.

No matter how you partner with FAME, you can say with confidence:
We touched those things!
With gratitude,
