Project C.U.R.E

Project C.U.R.E. was founded in 1987 to address the staggering shortage of medical resources worldwide. Since its humble beginnings in a garage in Colorado, Project C.U.R.E. has become the world’s largest distributor of donated medical supplies, equipment, and services to doctors and nurses serving the sick and dying in more than 130 countries.

Kristin Robinson leads the Project C.U.R.E Kansas City Chapter.

Each week, Project C.U.R.E. delivers approximately three to five semi-truck-sized ocean containers packed with the medical equipment and supplies desperately needed to save lives in hospitals and clinics in resource-limited countries.

In addition, hundreds of healthcare professionals travel with Project C.U.R.E. each year to provide medical treatment to communities in need and training to those dedicated to serving them. Over 30,000 volunteers support Project C.U.R.E. annually, and it operates distribution warehouses in seven U.S. cities.
In addition to their global work, Project C.U.R.E. pivoted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to support the need for PPE and medical equipment in the U.S.

Since March 2020, Project C.U.R.E. provided more than 15 semi-truck loads of medical aid, which equates to 4.5+ million pieces and nearly $5 million of PPE for healthcare workers and first responders. Project C.U.R.E. continues on the frontline of the battle against the pandemic by providing millions of dollars of COVID-19 aid every week.

In June 2020, the Franciscan Mission Warehouse, a 25-year ministry run by the Sisters of St. Francis of the Holy Eucharist in Independence, Mo., affiliated with Project C.U.R.E. to become Project C.U.R.E.’s seventh distribution facility. The Project C.U.R.E. | Franciscan Mission Warehouse is located in the Hunt Midwest SubTropolis in North Kansas City.

Project C.U.R.E.’s mission is to identify, solicit, collect, sort, and deliver medical supplies and services according to the imperative needs of the world.
