I am a volunteer and is sharing this message..... Dear Friends and Volunteers, I would like to personally thank you for your recent investment during MedShare’s sort sessions during the months of July and August. During this time, we made huge strides in the number of boxes created and pounds sorted, and many of your boxes are on their way to assist countries who are suffering from the Ebola crisis. Your important contribution of time and effort will engender a tremendous and lasting difference for those in need around the world, and we truly thank you for assisting us. All it takes is hands+heart! I am pleased to share the difference you made in bridging the gap between surplus and need. Collectively, July and Augusts volunteers prevented 72,411 pounds of much-needed medical supplies from going to waste in a landfill, and made it possible for 10,159 boxes of catheters, IV sets, needles, syringes, and other medical products to be provided to our recipients in Uganda, Vietnam, Cameroon, Honduras, Malawi, Bolivia, Guatemala, Sierra Leone, Turkey, and Guinea. Volunteers are at the heartbeat of our organization, and because of your dedication and willingness to help provide medical supplies to those in need, we are able to save lives because of the products you helped box and sort! MedShare volunteers bring sustainable health and well-being to the forefront in our movement to foster a global stewardship for equitable health and hope. Thank you again for your dedication to improving healthcare and the environment – what a difference you’ve made!
