Kingsway Charities

Description

By creating a network of donors, volunteers and medical mission teams from across the country, Kingsway Charities strives to “improve the lives of the sick and suffering worldwide” through its International Medical Missions.

History

Kingsway Charities originated when the Gregory family purchased a pharmaceutical company in Bristol, Tennessee, in 1993. A year later, the family founded King Pharmaceuticals Benevolent Fund – the forerunner to Kingsway Charities Inc. The fund was established to create Kingsway Charities’ current charitable endowment, which sustains the operating expenses for our humanitarian missions and special projects.

In 1997 Kingsway Charities purchased a facility in Bristol, Virginia, with 141,000 square feet of space – ample refrigeration and freezer storage, warehousing capabilities and numerous offices. We acquired a perfect site for our growing International Medical Missions. Over the last two decades, our goal has been constant – to bring physical healing and hope to the poor and needy around the world.
