West Grove’s Project C.U.R.E. has surpassed its annual distribution goal with the delivery of hospital, surgical, and laboratory support for hospitals in Ghana that left Chester County on March 21, writes Richard L. Gaw for Chester County Press.
This is the tenth delivery for the nonprofit in the current fiscal year that ends on May 31. Other deliveries this year have included shipments to Nigeria, Cuba, Mozambique, Suriname, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Grenada, and Armenia.
The center has now delivered $2.1 million in medical supplies in the current fiscal year with this delivery.
“There is no point to collect all of this and have it sit in our warehouse,” said Kathy Hrenko, Project C.U.R.E. director of operations.
“As our president and CEO Douglas Jackson says, ‘We’re not in the warehouse business. We are in the business of gathering valuable resources, getting them processed as quickly as possible, and getting them out.’”
Project C.U.R.E. is the largest distributor of medical donations to developing countries in the world. It has six distribution centers across the country, including the one in West Grove.
