What Does Mano a Mano Do With These Medical Supplies & Mobility Equipment?
Mano a Mano collects donated medical supplies, mobility equipment, and other in-demand items and ships them to Bolivia, where they are distributed to people and organizations throughout the country. We also provide items for organizations working in other countries and to individuals in the Twin Cities.
Mano a Mano volunteers loaded 3 containers with 68,797 pounds of supplies at our St. Paul, Minnesota warehouse in late July that are currently on their way to Bolivia. We have sent 6 containers with 148,495 pounds of supplies from Minnesota to Bolivia in 2022. Supplies donated in Minnetonka on Saturday will be included in a shipment in the coming months.
In Minnesota, Mano a Mano collects donated medical supplies and equipment for shipment to Bolivia, where we distribute them to people and organizations in need throughout the country.
