Sort Medical Supplies! Help the Environment & Save Lives!!!!!

Save to Favorites

Sort and pack Medical Supplies during three hour sessions held Saturdays, 9:00 - 12:00.

Our volunteers work to organize, sort and package surplus medical supplies to be sent to hospitals and clinics that serve the poor throughout the world. Without the efforts of our MedShare volunteers, many of these usable supplies would be discarded because of production overages, procedural excess and regulatory requirements.

As a volunteer, you can truly make a difference by helping us keep these supplies out of landfills and putting them in the hands of those caring for the poor.

Volunteers improve the quality of life of people and our planet by helping to sort, identify, and package critical medical supplies that will be shipped to communities in need around the world. Our 3-hour volunteer sessions take place at our Northeast Region Volunteer and Collection Center at 701 Penhorn Avenue, Unit #3, Secaucus, NJ 07094. We currently host volunteer events for individuals and small groups on Saturday mornings from 9AM-12PM. To volunteer please create an account and select an available volunteer opportunity at https://www.medshare.org/volunteer-secaucus/

Please note that MedShare is NOT a host site for court ordered or mandated community service.

Volunteers must be 14 years of age to volunteer independently with MedShare and must have a signed parent permission form. If volunteers are between the ages of 10 and 13, they must volunteer with their parent/guardian and must have a signed Parent Permission Form 2019.

Additional Details about Volunteering

• Parking - We encourage our volunteers to carpool as parking is limited. There are spots available directly in front of the facility located at 701 Penhorn Avenue, Unit #3, Secaucus, NJ 07094. Please park in numbered spots 24-28 only. Street parking is available along Penhorn Ave.
• What to wear - Closed-toed shoes are required. Please wear comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty.
• The warehouse where we will be working is not climate-controlled so please dress for the outside temperatures.
• We provide water, coffee, and snacks for our volunteers.

A brief tour and orientation is conducted for new volunteers at the beginning of the session, so punctuality is important. Once you sign up for a volunteer session, you are confirmed to attend. If you need to cancel your session after signing up, we request that you cancel as soon as possible so others may have the opportunity to join in your place.
