From the jungles of Central America to the mountains of Kosovo, from tsunami ravaged Thailand and Sri Lanka to the interior of Afghanistan... RESCUE TASK FORCE is a global 9-1-1- VOLUNTEER organization providing help to those wanting to help themselves. RESCUE TASK FORCE is a non-profit (501 C-3) corporation founded in 1988 to provide volunteer medical teams, medical supplies and clinics, humanitarian aid and livestock to remote, isolated regions of the globe. Working primarily in hazardous, and often in conflictive, zones the organization has delivered over fifty medical teams to the Central America countries of Nicaragua, Honduras, and El Salvador and has nine literacy learning centers for women in Central Afghanistan. |
| 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, water wells, live stock and ‘self help’ projects comes from donations solicited by speaking engagements and direct mail appeal letters to donors. |
| 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. |  |
