HEALTHCARE IN A box
​
Shoebox Healthcare is an organization dedicated to making essential medicine accessible to children and families worldwide. We believe that everyone has a right to fundamental healthcare, including nutrition, regular check-ups, life-saving medicine, vaccinations, and first aid. There is no excuse for a sick child to lack the basic medical care necessary to sustain health. We execute advocacy and organize charitable projects designed to spread medical resources around the globe. Read more about our shoebox initiative below:
​
Our signature initiative is to pack shoeboxes filled with essential medical supplies: band-aids, toothpaste, soap, Tylenol, Neosporin, tums, vitamins, disinfectant wipes and more. The shoebox project is conceived both as a convenient delivery mechanism for first aid and healthcare basics, and as a symbol to draw awareness to the plight of under-resourced and impoverished communities worldwide.
