The Steiner Family 

We are Mark & Deb Steiner and we have been Director and Assistant Director, respectively, at the Salvatorian Mission Warehouse for the last year. Through the last year, we have learned a lot about the behind-the-scenes work involved in shipping containers to missions around the world and we are excited to continue our work here for years to come. 

We are both originally from the New Holstein area and have been living here together for the last 25 years. We have a son Jeremy, who currently resides in Kentucky with his wife and son, and a daughter Cara, who recently graduated from St. Norbert College and is working at Penske. 

We look forward to continuing our mission work with your support! 

Monetary Donations
Shipping and other operational expenses are covered by the generosity of private donors, donations from churches/groups, and grants.

​Changing the world one container at a time!

"Our whole warehouse is a loving miracle"  -Sr. Dora

Br. Regis Fust began his mission here at the warehouse in 1963 after a nun at a local Salvatorian hospital was curious if world missions could use their excess medical supplies. Through Salvatorian contacts in Tanzania he was able to send a container of relief goods to a Salvatorian hospital there. Sr. Dora Zapf was on the receiving end of that first shipment and soon after, in 1974, came to join Br. Regis here at the Mission Warehouse.
