We are always looking for volunteers to sort and prepare donated medical supplies for distribution to under served populations and those in need. The tasks vary day to day- you may be opening boxes of items to sort, putting together kits of similar items (personal care kits, surgical kits, respiratory kits, etc) or filling boxes with medical supplies, for example. No medical background is needed!
To start, please head to our VolunteerHub page to create an account and register for orientation. Once orientation is complete, you will be able to register for all events!
Please join us!

Mission Statement
To improve health care and reduce environmental impact by collecting surplus medical equipment and supplies and distributing them to communities in need globally and locally.
Description
Partners for World Health is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that collects usable medical supplies from healthcare facilities in Maine, NH, VT & MA which are being discarded due to government regulations and ships them to countries in need. In addition, we organize medical missions to Southeast Asia and Africa for doctors, nurses, non medical professionals and students. We strive to send a team of medical personnel to every country where we ship a container of medical supplies. We are committed to educating our community members about the importance of recycling and the disparities in healthcare around the world. We work with other organizations to share resources to better our communities at home as well as overseas.
