The Washington Overseas Mission is a humanitarian aid organization that has been sending medical, dental and construction teams to Honduras and Central America since 1992.

Based in the small town of Washington Missouri, our volunteers have helped to improve the lives and health of over 100,000 people in this region of Central America.

What began in 1992 with Dr. Tim Long and a few friends volunteering to work for a week in Honduras has grown into an organization that works year round organizing and funding a diverse range of humanitarian projects including health care, construction, water, scholarships and day care.  Teams consisting of physicians, dentists, health care professionals, skilled-trade construction workers, students and general volunteers donate their time and skills to help the poorest of the poor in this third world area.

We are a not-for-profit 501 (C) (3) corporation with no paid staff.  Everyone who goes on a mission trip pays their own way, so all donations are directly used to provide care and relief for these most grateful people.  We take a lot of supplies and bring nothing home except the satisfaction of service and the challenge to do more.

As our organization has grown, we have recognized the need to develop better methods of communication with our volunteers, sponsors and other organizations.  This web site is an attempt to keep people informed about our activities and future projects.  We welcome your suggestions, please let us know how you like the site.
