Bridging the gap between surplus and need.

MedShare Headquarters and Southeast Regional Distribution and Volunteer Center

Welcome to MedShare's Headquarters and Southeastern Distribution and Volunteer Center! As a result of A.B. Short and Bob Freeman's vision, we began our mission of bridging the gap between surplus and need in 1998. We've since served the Southeast by partnering with local hospitals and saving tons of medical supplies from landfills. To date, we've shipped 630 containers of medical supplies and equipment to countries in need. Below, you will find information on our facility location, how to support our mission (you can volunteer or donate), news on recent and upcoming projects and events, hospital partners, and key staff.

Volunteer

MedShare's operations depend on its volunteers to get these life-saving supplies to people who desperately need them. Learn more about volunteer opportunities or sign up.

MedShare volunteers sort and pack medical supplies to prepare shipments for developing countries. In response to Haiti's earthquake, this particular group came together to pack supplies in support of Haiti's recovery efforts.

News and Events

  • On October 25, the Atlanta Hawks organization volunteered at MedShare. They boxed an incredible 399 boxes, setting a new record in our Southeast Volunteer Center. Click here to view a video of the group volunteering, and here for photos.
  • Our Southeast Regional Council has been busy lately! In addition to hosting an event at Tim Kelly's house to introduce MedShare to targeted members of the Atlanta community, they came together to sort and box medical supplies and also are actively raising funds for a container shipment to Hope Builds in Nigeria. Hope Builds is a team of design and medical professionals that partners with underserved communities to raise their standard of living through healthcare, permanent housing and community empowerment.

The Southeast Regional Council's container sponsorship will raise healthcare standards in Nigeria.

Regional Councils generate awareness of MedShare in our areas of operations and raise funds to support and sustain the organization’s healthcare, humanitarian aid, and environmental mission. They link MedShare’s work to the communities we serve and are a supportive resource to the board and management.
