SIRUM Charitable Pharmacy (SCP) is looking for volunteers interested or experienced in healthcare like you! SCP is a project of SIRUM, a 501(c)3 nonprofit that connects surplus medicine with people in need. Learn more at sirum.org or features in The New York Times, Forbes or Wall Street Journal. SCP was recently opened in Hillsboro to fill prescriptions for all uninsured and low-income patients in Oregon and is the first pharmacy to operate completely with donated medicine under Oregon's Charitable Prescription Drug Program.

We provide training in pharmacy operations, sorting, and data logging. No experience is required.
