By
far, RAM's most important resource is our volunteer
pool. Over the years, over 20,000 volunteers have participated
in RAM expeditions and activities |
One of our best-known resources
is the Douglas DC-3 that we use to deliver supplies
and people whenever possible. We also have a Cessna
206, a Beech 18, and have access to a Cessna 337 and
a Cessna 150.
More about these aircraft can
be found on the Aviation
page.

Our
facilities are leased to us from the city of Knoxville,
TN, and a very affordable rate. Our headquarters building
is an old school building with a gread deal of floorspace
for us to keep and organize donated supplies. Our hangar,
at an airport close to headquarters, is also made available
to us by the City. It shelters the DC-3 and the other
aircraft. |
We
operate a mobile optical lab, able to turn out 200 pair
of new, custom-made glasses per day. Our lenses are
a mix of donated and purchased new lenses. Frames are
all donated, and are a broad mix of styles. |

We
have equipment and supplies to operate 12 dental stations,
complete with portable chair, drill/suction setup, and
hand tools. |
A
recent addition to our inventory is a beautiful mobile
clinic trailer. It is currently undergoing renovation
to become a full service medical and dental clinic that
can be used in many different settings, from school
visits to disaster relief. |

We
also have a collection of trucks and trailers to move
equipment to and from expeditions. |
