Assist International is partnering with a great chain of grocery stores in California to continue our effort to impact the lives of the most vulnerable in our world. Each time you shop at one of these stores, by swiping the partnership card, a percentage (3%) of the total bill will be sent to Assist to forward these life-saving and life-changing projects.
You can use all the discount coupons you wish the card doesn't affect that at all; and nothing is added to your bill. However, a great good is added to our world by you partnering with us each time you shop.
Thanks for helping us lift and empower so many lives beyond mere existence.

Assist International traveled to Senegal, West Africa to install two structures to hold Polytanks. These tanks hold a three day supply of filtered water for the hospital in case the municipal supply is shut off, as is often the case.
Our dedicated partner, GE, graciously donated the equipment, and we want to thank them for their continued support in our work.
Your donations helped pave the way for these tanks as well, and we we couldn't do it without you.
Assist International traveled to China to install cardiac care equipment in the Toajing County Hospital in May, 2008. Rotary International and GE graciously donated the equipment, and we want to thank them for their continued partnership in our work.
Toajing County Hospital is a referral hospital to 850,000 people who reside in the city and roughly 2 million more in the surrounding area. Dr. Chang, a Cardiologist at the hospital, helped train local doctors and nurses on using the new equipment, which included six GE Dash Monitors that measure vital signs. This equipment is certain to save lives and give hope to people in the region suffering from heart-related illnesses.
Your donations helped pave the way for this important piece of equipment, and we want to thank you for your partnership in our mission, too.

Special thanks to GE for the equipment (good thing we didn't actually drop it, 1:30). Your donations paid for the building materials, the freight and the local labor. So thank you, too.
