I know that many people in the ProgressiveU community are very socially conscious and understand the importance of activism, so I want to tell you about a great opportunity to show your support for global healthcare. A new, interactive website featuring the Catholic Medical Mission Board's renowned medical donation program allows you to include your name on a box of medical supplies that will be shipped to Zimbabwe at the end of this month -- just visit the Packed with Love website at www.PackedWithLove.org.
Last year alone, CMMB donated nearly $190 million worth of medical supplies -- free of charge and without discrimination -- and now they need our support. I hope you enjoy viewing www.PackedWithLove.org and consider sharing this campaign with your community!
I have included the press release below, but please feel free to contact me if you require any additional information.

Support Catholic Medical Mission Board’s Medical Donation Program
Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB)—the leading U.S. based Catholic charitable organization focused exclusively on global healthcare—needs your support.
With all of the talk about lowering healthcare costs and providing service to more Americans, it’s easy to forget the extraordinary healthcare needs in resource-poor countries like Kenya, Peru, and Vietnam. Delivering basic medical supplies to those in need can truly save lives.
You can support global healthcare by putting your name on one of these shipments. CMMB will be sending $200,000 of medical supplies to Zimbabwe at the end of May and is hosting a “Packed With Love” Challenge to raise awareness around this issue. Spread this within your community to help CMMB meet its goals.
Please visit www.PackedWithLove.org to put your name on a box before the shipment is sent. You will be updated on its journey and the impact your shipment has on those it reaches.
Since 1928, CMMB’s medical donation program has distributed over $1.7 billion of medicines and medical equipment to improve healthcare in developing nations the world over.
Visit www.PackedWithLove.org to send love and support to those in need.
