MedWish helps to re-purpose discarded medical supplies, and our volunteers help with this process. We collect tens of thousands of pounds of donated supplies each month, and rely on volunteers to help us sort through these supplies, checking expiration dates and ensuring product viability.
Sorting takes place through a number of different steps, and volunteers can expect to participate in all steps of the process (examples include sorting medical supplies into categories, matching similar items together, boxing, and labeling inventory).
No medical experience necessary!

Favorite Quote: "What is done in love is done well." - Vincent Van Gogh
Because of my service-learning experience, I am introduced to the lives of the individuals I am helping. Through this, I have learned much about the reality of an individual's day-to-day life and the challenges they face. I am very fortunate to advocate for these individuals and help them overcome such challenges. I had to unlearn previous biases and opinions about the service sites and the individuals I am working with. Through this, I can be fully immersed and welcomed into the lives of the individuals I am working alongside. I have learned that even small interactions, can have a huge impact on someone's day. Through this lesson, I have learned that no matter how small an interaction or conversation may seem, it can make a difference in someone's attitude and confidence!
