Dallas Eagle Scout helps Baylor #39;s Faith In Action Initiatives
Baylor Health Care System #39;s Faith In Action Initiatives received a special gift this 2012 holiday season from a Highland Park High School student. Carson Yeager, 15, a member of Boy Scouts of America Troop 82, led a team of eight people to build four metal, wheeled carts and two sets of crutch hangers for use in the warehouse where the team houses supplies. Carson raised $850 in donations to fund the project, and he and his volunteers spent 136 hours planning and completing it. Baylor #39;s Faith In Action Initiatives coordinates the recycling of decommissioned medical equipment through its "Second Life Resources" program. Last year alone, more than $250000 of medical supplies was donated to areas in need in Texas and around the world. Carson #39;s carts and hangers will greatly help the team as it moves thousands of pounds of equipment throughout the large warehouse. The Faith In Action Initiatives team also offers disaster relief support and this year helped the communities impacted by Hurricanes Sandy and Issac. In years past, the team has gone to Japan, Haiti and other areas throughout the world.From:baylorhealthViews:0 0ratingsTime:02:51More inNonprofits Activism
