PWH is in need of volunteers to help with our pick-ups in our box truck and van! This volunteer opportunity does involve heavy lifting, loading and unloading the truck (not just driving). Volunteers are paired together or with a staff member for pick-ups, and these are typically from healthcare facilities. Not interested in driving? We are also looking for volunteers to be the "co-pilot" to help with the loading and unloading! You do not need a special drivers license for our vehicles but do need a clean driving record to be added to our insurance. This opportunity does need to be scheduled in advance- if you have regular availability that is always helpful! Pick-ups typically require a half day or full day depending on where they are located and take place Monday through Friday. Please fill out the volunteer application at www.partnersforworldhealth.org and contact Zoë at zoe@partnersforworldhealth.org for more information.

As of June 1st, PWH is open to volunteering with new regulations to keep everyone safe and adhere to local guidelines! 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! Volunteering is available in person by appointment. The first step is to attend a new volunteer orientation now held over ZOOM, after which we will share with you the details of how to make an appointment and the precautions we have in place. Start by filling out our volunteer application: https://secure.lglforms.com/form_engine/s/1ngIVk-kLp39wALng0ZKXQ and feel free to email our Volunteer Coordinator, Zoë Lewis, zoe@partnersforworldhealth.org with questions!
