Thanks to all of our wonderful volunteers!

Our volunteer day on Monday was a huge success, far exceeding our expectations. We opened our doors at 9 am, and a steady stream of volunteers kept the warehouse full from then till nearly 9 pm.

One of the major services Hospitals of Hope offers is shipping medical supplies to clinics and hospitals around the globe. To do that, we first have to pack the supplies into 4' x 4' x 7.5' crates, which we then pack into a 40' shipping container. This is what our volunteers did on Monday, building crates, packing them, and inventorying the supplies they packed. Our goal was to pack 10 crates on Monday, and, thanks to our outstanding help, we managed to pack 12!

Hospitals of Hope has several containers slated to ship out to Africa and the Middle East in the next couple of months, so getting 12 crates ready to go was a great help. We'll continue to build and pack crates over the coming months, so we'd love to have you or your group come in and help us out. To find out more, email me at leta@hospitalsofhope.org.
