WHAT WE DO:
SAVE SUPPLIES. SAVE LIVES.




SAVE SUPPLIES

U.S. hospitals waste thousands of tons of medical supplies every day. This includes unused, sterile
medical supplies discarded for regulatory reasons and fully functional equipment.

COLLECT

DOC2DOCK collects medical supplies and equipment from more than 100 U.S. hospitals. We also
accept donations from individuals.

SORT

Volunteers inspect and inventory the supplies and test all of the equipment. We reject any supplies or
equipment that doesn’t meet our stringent standards.

MATCH

DOC2DOCK receives detailed needs assessments from hospitals in developing countries and creates
shipments to match those exact needs.

SHIP

Supplies are shipped in 40-foot containers. It costs $25,000 to ship $500,000 worth of supplies.
This means every $1 we get helps send $20 worth of supplies.

DELIVER

We build partnerships on the ground to ensure that the supplies reach the hospitals as planned. Every
container we’ve shipped has reached its destination.

SAVE LIVES

We have shipped more than 25 containers to hospitals in Africa and Haiti. This has helped bring care
to more than 2 million people.
