Global Links
Global Links is an organization that recovers and collects unused medical supplies, surplus equipment, and office furnishings from U.S. healthcare systems for redistribution to hospitals and clinics in the poorest developing countries. Most importantly, the organization is careful to send recipients only items they can use. With the help of volunteers and staff, hours are spent hours sorting and processing various donated materials. Theta Phi Alpha sisters will spend hours helping to sort through all of these precious supplies at the organization's local headquarters in downtown Pittsburgh.
