About Insulin for Life USA

IFL USA’s mission is simple: to bring the necessary resources
to individuals with diabetes.

We do this by collecting unopened, in-date diabetes supplies from individuals, organizations, and corporations—resources that would often go to waste—and redistributing them through vetted healthcare providers across the U.S. and internationally.

Once these life-sustaining supplies are donated, we handle the rest: inspecting, processing, and shipping them to the communities that need them most. This approach not only addresses critical healthcare gaps but also reduces medical waste by putting already-manufactured goods to life-saving use.

Our work is made possible by the generosity of our partners, the dedication of our passionate board of directors, and the continued support from individuals both within and beyond the diabetes community. Every donation—whether supplies or financial support—helps someone in need gain access to care they might not otherwise receive.

Since 2012, IFL USA has shipped over 260,000 pounds of vital diabetes-management supplies, reaching more than 40,000 people in the Caribbean, Central, North, and South America, as well as Central, East, and West Africa.

In 2024 alone, IFL USA received 4,360 in-kind donations and completed 186 shipments — 76 of them within the U.S. — delivering a total of 18,000 pounds of insulin and diabetes supplies to save lives.

Imagine: 22 million units of insulin, 384,341 test strips, and 11,150 sensors — spared from landfills and transformed into lifelines for hundreds, all in just one year!
