The areas serviced by RESCUE TASK FORCE are often very remote and require days of travel by bush plane, dug-out canoe, mule and horseback and hiking to reach isolated villages. Volunteers pay their own trip expenses, carry in all supplies, their personal support equipment and food for the duration of a given mission.

Funding for RESCUE TASK FORCE projects, such as medical clinics, clean water systems, disaster responses, backpacks and ‘self help’ projects comes from donations solicited by speaking engagements, direct mail appeal letters to donors and corporate sponsors.

RESCUE TASK FORCE's wonderful volunteers and supporters have delivered over $48 million worth of medical supplies, food clothing, household supplies and disaster relief materials donated by manufacturers to hurting people in the United States and around the globe.
