PROJECT C.U.R.E.

PROJECT C.U.R.E.

About

What Is It?

The largest provider of donated medical supplies and equipment to developing countries around the world. Since its inception, it has delivered medical relief to needy people in over 130 countries.

Help Needed:

Sort and pack medical supplies, help in the warehouse, or donate Kits for Kids. Please contact Project C.U.R.E. for COVID-related updates. 

Details

Minimum Age to Volunteer

15, to help at the warehouse. All ages may help with Kits for Kids.

Time Commitment

Flexible.  Shifts are 2 or 2 1/2 hours long, but volunteers do not need to stay for the entire shift.

Suitable for Groups of Volunteers?

Yes.  “We consider 7 people or more volunteering together a group.  If there are 6 people or fewer coming together, you can still come – but register as individual volunteers.  Our maximum group size varies from shift to shift.”

Request a group volunteering session online here or by sending an email to houstongroups@projectcure.org
“If you schedule a group, we will automatically do a mini orientation for your group, so you don’t need to worry about orientation.”

Training Needed

All new volunteers must attend a one-hour orientation.  (Orientations are held every Wednesday at noon and every 3rd Saturday at noon and require a separate sign up.) Volunteers can begin work directly after the orientation, if desired.

How to Sign Up: Individual students must visit the website and create an online profile before their first volunteering session. For group sign-up details, see the “Suitable for groups” category.

Help Needed

HELP IN WAREHOUSE

Sort and organize donated medical supplies, prepare the supplies for international shipment, and/or manage warehouse inventory.

DONATE KITS FOR KIDS

Volunteers donate basic medical and hygiene items such as toothbrushes and antibiotic ointment to fill bags that Project CURE provides. The kits are delivered to impoverished families throughout the world.  Each kit requires a $5 donation to cover the cost of delivering it.  More information is here.

    Helping out at Project C.U.R.E. is fulfilling, given their lifesaving work, and everyone that volunteers and interns there is very friendly. There is always tons to do, so you’ll never be left bored waiting for a task. You can either help out in the warehouse, which is slightly more physical but where the tasks are more varied, or sort medical supplies indoors in the air conditioning. Whichever your preference may be, you can always grab a popsicle from the fridge and chat with the other high school and college age people there when you need a break!
