Global First Responder

Thanks to an organized and efficient effort led by the Missouri National Guard and Missouri State Emergency Management Agency, working with a motivated (and enthusiastic!) GFR team. 1800+ vaccines administered in Hannibal in 9 hours (that's 200 vaccines every hour)! Fully on the offensive now against COVID...let’s keep that momentum going!

It doesn't take much to help someone . #GoGFR

Can't tell from the mask, but here's volunteer Alexis Lyle giving a big smile about helping folks get their vaccine! This was a vaccination clinic in St. Louis, working alongside Missouri State Emergency Management Agency. Her and the GFR team gave around 2,400 vaccinations - Thank you for your service!

GFR had a very successful tap takeover at Pierpont Pub! A portion of the night's earnings went to support our global operations, for a most busy year ahead. Thank you everyone for coming out! Pierpont General Store

We are eager to return to Lesbos, Greece this summer - The need is great. There are over 50,000 refugees in Greece right now, and many are living in inadequate conditions with poor medical care. GFR will work in partnership with Team Humanity in providing much-needed assistance in these refugee camps.

Adam and Rick: International men of mystery. Maybe we should make a calendar of their poses together!

Any guesses what country this is?

Haiti has been through a lot: the 2010 earthquake, cholera outbreaks, drought from El Niño in 2015, Hurricane Matthew in 2016, and other hurricanes too. While there’s been progress, they still have poor access to basic resources. There's still lots of work to do! That’s why we’re planning on going back to Haiti later this year ! We're waiting for borders to reopen, but we'll provide medical education in St. Marc as well as community development projects in Montrouis. ... The need is great, but with your support we can help Haiti regain their strength! Learn more or donate: https://loom.ly/XlEvxXY

Turns out the Amazon basin in Peru doesn't have a highway going to it (who woulda thunk?). So prop plane it is!

Happy New Year! Our New Year's resolution? Keep providing medical and construction relief worldwide to those in need! We've been doing a lot of planning even though borders have been closed, so we'll be ready to move when they're open again. We've got our sights on major projects in Haiti, Peru, Liberia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe! Learn more: https://loom.ly/KsUm6mU
