Where some people see junk, others see treasure.

Ten years ago, two surgical nurses at St. Mary's Hospital, Green Bay, noticed all the perfectly usable medical supplies the hospital routinely discarded. Kay Daugherty and Beverley Olsen began wondering if it was possible to send them instead to places where they were desperately needed.

With that was born Green Bay Mission Support, which continues to make possible medical care for some of the neediest people in the world, including the United States.

As word spread, Olsen and Daugherty received such a large response they soon needed a place to store all they had collected. Since then, they have moved storage sites three times as they've outgrown each donated facility.
