No. MRDS is for non-profit organizations whose mission is to serve those in need. MRDS distributes only to the organizations, not individuals.

MRDS provides products that are deemed “essential” by its current participants. Upon orientation, MRDS members will be asked to provide a top 10 list of most wanted items. This will help guide the acquisition process for MRDS. Currently, the most requested and distributed categories are Clothing, Hygiene, Beauty, Food Storage, and School Supplies.

No. Any monetary gain acquired through distribution of items provided by MRDS is strictly prohibited, and will result in immediate revocation of membership.
