MedShare to Honor Buckhead Church with the 2026 HumanKindness Award
MedShare is proud to recognize Buckhead Church as the recipient of the 2026 HumanKindness Award—an honor celebrating a community whose unwavering spirit of service, compassion, and generosity has helped deliver healing and hope to millions of people in underserved communities around the world.
As a deeply valued partner in MedShare’s mission to improve lives by expanding healthcare access and advancing health equity, Buckhead Church has demonstrated what it truly means to put compassion into action. Through hands-on volunteerism and steadfast philanthropic support, its members have played a vital role in helping MedShare deliver lifesaving medical supplies and equipment to healthcare providers serving vulnerable populations both locally and globally.
Over the years, Buckhead Church members have generously given their time at MedShare’s headquarters and distribution facility in Decatur, Georgia. There, they have sorted, prepared, and packaged donated medical supplies and equipment—an essential process that enables MedShare to efficiently deliver critical resources to underserved healthcare systems. Every item handled by a volunteer represents more than a task completed; it is a tangible step toward equipping frontline providers with the tools they need to save lives in resource-limited environments.
The impact of Buckhead Church’s partnership extends far beyond the walls of MedShare’s facility. Their collective generosity has helped support the distribution of medical supplies and equipment reaching healthcare providers who serve millions of patients in marginalized communities worldwide. From supporting clinics that care for uninsured patients across the United States to strengthening healthcare infrastructure in under-resourced regions around the globe, Buckhead Church has helped bring care, dignity, and hope to those facing significant health disparities.
“Buckhead Church embodies the spirit of compassion and service that defines the HumanKindness Award,” said Stacey Koehnke, CEO of MedShare. “Their members consistently show up with hearts full of generosity, dedication, and a shared commitment to improving lives. Their volunteerism and support have helped MedShare extend healthcare access to communities that need it most, and their partnership continues to inspire our work every day.”
MedShare will present the HumanKindness Award to Buckhead Church at its inaugural HumanKind celebration on May 6—an event dedicated to honoring the partners, supporters, and community members whose commitment makes MedShare’s lifesaving mission possible.
As MedShare continues to respond to growing global health disparities and increasing demand on charitable healthcare systems, partnerships like Buckhead Church’s serve as powerful reminders of what is possible when communities come together in service. Their example underscores how collective compassion can create meaningful, lasting impact for people around the world.
