SOS In so doing, SOS succeeds in improving healthcare for the poor and underserved around the world, including in our own region.

SOS improves healthcare access for those in need locally and around the world by collecting surplus medical supplies from healthcare systems and using the items to save lives rather than going into landfills. SOS is a Louisville, KY based humanitarian aid organization that promotes global health, environmental stewardship, and community awareness through the efficient recovery and responsible distribution of surplus medical supplies and equipment. SOS is one of only 7 accredited medical surplus recovery organizations in the U.S.

From Louisville to Tanzania, surplus medical supplies are making a difference! 🌍

What began with a family’s visit to a small rural health clinic in Tanzania grew into an incredible partnership with SOS. During a safari, they saw firsthand that the clinic lacked the supplies needed to care for its community. Families often had to travel long distances to access healthcare, and they knew they wanted to help.

SOS made that vision a reality, delivering medical supplies and equipment valued at more than $400,000 to furnish the clinic. The shipment included hospital beds, an anesthesia machine, an infant warmer, a ventilator, surgical and OB/GYN supplies and much more.

And the work isn't finished! We're now preparing a second shipment to help expand the clinic's services and reach even more people. 💚

This Animal Shelter Week, we’re celebrating the important work being done to improve the lives of animals in our communities! 💚

We were touched to receive a thank-you note from the Dubois County Humane Society, sharing that its low-cost spay and neuter clinic recently celebrated its 7,000th surgery!

SOS is honored to provide surplus medical supplies that help organizations deliver vital care to animals and keep affordable services within reach for local pet owners. 🐾

How cute are Boots & Crutch, our beloved warehouse cats!? These sweet kitties do more than steal hearts — they help keep our warehouse free of pests and bring stress relief to our team.

We’re lucky to have these two on the SOS crew! 🐾

Life is different in Ghana. Healthcare is a luxury. Our partner and friend Dr. Seth Wanye was in town visiting this week, and in this video he shares how he’s seen SOS impact communities in his home country. ❤️💛💚🖤

Two Dupont Manual High School students have turned art into impact! 🩹🌸

They craft and sell handmade flowers at local farmers markets, and with the money raised, they purchase medical supplies for SOS to give to communities in need. 🌎

So far, they've raised enough to send 10,000 gloves and over 200 bandages to a community in need! 🧤

This is an amazing initiative, so keep an eye on their posts to see which market they'll be at next! 👏

WE BROKE A RECORD! 💚

This past Saturday, our free wheelchair clinic served 21 individuals in a single afternoon—a new record! Each person served represents improved mobility, independence and quality of life.

We’re so grateful to our volunteers and community partners, with a special thank-you to the Greater Louisville Medical Society for supporting our these clinics.

It's simply amazing to witness the immediate impact improved mobility has on someone. 🫶

A container of health and hope is on its way to Cuba. 💚

This week we sent over $333,000 worth of essential medical supplies and equipment, as well as more than 70,000 meals from Love the Hungry to help address critical food needs.

Conditions in Cuba are increasingly difficult, with prolonged power outages, food shortages and hospitals struggling to access essential supplies. This shipment will help support healthcare providers and communities facing urgent needs.

Thanks to our generous donors and partners, these resources are getting a second life.
