At the July 4, 2024 Bala Park Festival our club introduced Nuts to Polio, a reference to Rotary’s efforts to rid the disease from both Pakistan & Afghanistan, two countries where pistachios are harvested.

Club Program Director Patrick Walsh recently was notified of his selection to the Forbes “Best in State Wealth Advisors List.

Dedicated volunteers were on hand to load a 40-foot container with collected medical supplies and equipment to a hospital in Liberia, following a Project C.U.R.E. assessment.

When our club was presented with the opportunity in 2014 to foster a humanitarian project that could reduce suffering and deaths worldwide, we took the steps necessary to help establish an eastern collection and distribution warehouse for Project C.U.R.E., the nation’s largest distributor of donated medical materials and equipment. It began shipping containers in 2016. In June, 2024 this 60,000 square foot facility in Jennersville, PA launched its 100th seagoing container and achieved a benchmark goal of sustainability.

In developing countries across the world, families must purchase needed surgical and medical supplies for their loved ones on the street, often at highly inflated prices. Every container Project C.U.R.E. ships has a street value of $250,000 to $550,000, with medical supplies hospitals can offer to disadvantaged patients. Conservative estimates would value the seven years of shipments from the Project C.U.R.E. Mid-Atlantic Distribution Center at $33 million. And the Lower Main Line Rotary Club sparked the way to this accomplishment.
