MJCCA Volunteers Package More Than 1,000 Pounds of Medical Supplies to Send Overseas, To Columbia, Honduras, Haiti, and Kenya
Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) volunteers recently participated in an initiative with MedShare International, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the redistribution of surplus medical supplies and equipment to underserved healthcare facilities in developing countries. MJCCA volunteers sorted more than 1,000 pounds of medical supplies to be shipped to Columbia, Honduras, Haiti, and Kenya. For more information about this and other MJCCA Volunteer Opportunities contact Jamie Perry, MJCCA Volunteer Coordinator at 678.812.3799, or visit www.atlantajcc.org.
Barbie Perlmutter, MJCCA Volunteer said, “It was wonderful being a volunteer at this event, helping to sort greatly needed medical supplies. It was such a great feeling for all of us, knowing that the supplies we were sorting will bring healing to countless patients in need.” Barbie continues, “The MJCCA has offered numerous volunteer efforts on its campus, and has recently begun expanding its scope of volunteer initiatives into the community as well.”
The Next MJCCA Volunteer Opportunity
The next call for volunteers is on November 24, from 10:00 am – 12:00 noon at the Sandy Springs Recycling Center (470 Morgan Falls Rd, Atlanta), helping with city beautification.
