Needs From: Belmont Office of Community-Engaged Learning and Service

Project C.U.R.E. collects donated medical supplies to ship to hospitals and clinics in developing countries all over the world. We receive donations every day, of all sorts of supplies, which all need to be sorted, tested, and packaged for shipment. We need help from people with all kinds of medical knowledge. Whether your expertise is biomedical or in the lab, whether you’re a nurse or a surgeon, we have an opportunity for you.
 

Various opportunities are available throughout the week. Contact us to see how you might use your expertise to deliver health and hope to the world. 

Project C.U.R.E. collects new, surplus and overstock medical supplies, sorts the items, and ships them to over 135 countries in Africa, South America, and nearly every nation in Central Asia.  We have even shipped supplies to some countries you may not expect like North Korea, Cuba, China, and Russia. Your good work here at home makes a huge impact miles away. 

Volunteers will sort supplies in Project C.U.R.E.'s warehouse.  No medical experience is needed, but if you want to become a medical professional this is a great place to familiarize yourself with the consumables and equipment you may eventually use.  There may occasionally be a need to move boxes weighing 20-25 pounds. All volunteers should wear closed toe shoes to this project. This is a great project for a group of friends, co-workers, civic or faith organization. There are opportunities Monday-Saturday.

Please email jasonhayes@projectcure.org or call 615-238-7548 to schedule a time for your group to volunteer.
