Do you know about Global Links?

Global Links is a medical relief and development organization with a two-fold mission: promoting environmental stewardship in healthcare; and improving health and advancing healthcare equity in developing countries.  Rooted in Pittsburgh, but with a mission and impact that reaches out to the poorest countries and populations, Global Links works with local and international partners to redirect still useful medical materials away from U.S. landfills to public health improvement efforts in targeted countries throughout the hemisphere.   Many supplies and durable medical equipment that may no longer be needed after treatment is completed or changed can be donated rather than discarded.

Donation inquiries can be directed to Hayley Doering, Medical Outreach manager at hdoering@globallinks.org or 412-361-3424,ext. 213 .  A list of acceptable and non-acceptable items can be found here.

Volunteers are critical in accomplishing our work. Most volunteers help us by sorting and packing surplus medical supplies. Opportunities for individuals and groups.  Minimum volunteer age is 14 years old. To schedule a two-hour daytime or evenings shift (available Tuesdays- Saturdays), visit our website or email glvolunteer@globallinks.org
