Message from the Founder
What Global Care Force achieved in 2022, our first full year of operation, is truly remarkable! My vision for Global Care Force is to inspire transformative life experiences through volunteer service. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, so we partner with organizations that provide medical and safety net services in their communities. With a small staff, an army of servant-hearted volunteers, and generous donors, this vision is becoming a reality!
Global Care Force immediately responded to the war in Ukraine with boots on the ground. Volunteers delivered medicines, medical supplies, and negative pressure wound therapy systems to doctors and hospitals in central Ukraine. Volunteer Dr. Jim Pettey, an orthopedic surgeon, deployed with me over the summer to assist surgical teams at a hospital in Cherkasy. I witnessed firsthand the negative pressure wound therapy systems being used to accelerate the healing process for patients while preventing infections.
By fall, we were sending medical volunteers monthly to provide primary care to residents in nine communities in central and southern Ukraine with our mobile medical clinics. Global Care Force is the ONLY source of medical care for residents in these locations! Volunteers provided medical care to over 1,200 patients in just four months. These communities are extremely grateful to know doctors and nurses will be back regularly to care for them and provide free medications. In 2023, we will continue sending monthly medical teams to Ukraine and will expand services to include trauma care counseling.
The situation in Ukraine weighs on my heart. The war has taken a heavy toll on the Ukrainian people. I started Global Care Force because I’m called to help those in need! Are you being called? We need volunteers to fill teams. We need generous donors to support our work. We need advocates to spread the word of Global Care Force! I invite you to join us. The best is yet to come!
With gratitude,

What’s Ahead for 2023
While the accomplishments in 2022 were remarkable, we’re just getting started! Global Care Force continues to build partnerships to respond to humanitarian crises globally. Volunteers from around the world have registered, ready to serve those in need!
Mobile Medical Clinics
Global Care Force’s mobile medical clinics will serve more communities in 2023, providing compassionate care from our medical volunteers.
We Stand With Ukraine!
Trauma Care Program
Ukrainians have been traumatized since the onset of Russia’s invasion. Every patient treated at our mobile clinic locations suffers from anxiety, depression or PTSD. The need for trauma counseling is being addressed through a partnership between Global Care Force and Nazarene Compassionate Ministries. Our goal is to have over 100 Ukrainian counselors trained to help their community address, cope, and heal from the trauma of war.
Whatever It Takes!
Global Care Force volunteers are in demand and new partnerships are developing around the globe.
Border Crisis
Migrants and asylum seekers congregate at the border of El Paso, Texas, and Juárez, Mexico. After their arduous journey, many are in need of medical care, and we are called to serve. Global Care Force volunteers will work in partnership with local churches and shelters providing refuge for those seeking a better life for themselves and their families.
Compassionate Care
The Sisters of the Missionaries of Charity, the Order founded by Saint Teresa, welcome Global Care Force volunteers to join them in providing medical and nonmedical care for those in need.
You can make a difference today by supporting our servant-hearted volunteers!
