Project C.U.R.E. | Franciscan Mission Warehouse in Kansas City
Project C.U.R.E. was founded in a Colorado garage in 1987 and has since expanded to seven distribution locations across the U.S., including our 50,000-square-foot warehouse here in Kansas City. We’ve also grown to become the world’s largest distributor of donated medical supplies, equipment, and services to doctors and nurses in more than 135 countries. This is no easy feat. The only way we can make it happen is through the help and support of those also willing to get involved — from volunteering to donating, you can help us change the world.
KC Warehouse Marks 1-Year Anniversary of War in Ukraine – February 24, 2023
One year ago today, Russian troops crossed the Ukrainian border, marking the start of a deadly conflict that has claimed the lives of thousands. Within days, Project C.U.R.E. responded by delivering urgently needed medical supplies and equipment to Ukraine. Over the last year, Project C.U.R.E. has delivered over $20 million worth of medical supplies and equipment. This wouldn’t be possible without the support of our dedicated volunteers. In honor of the one-year anniversary of this devastating conflict, volunteers gathered in the Kansas City warehouse to sort supplies in preparation for another shipment to Ukraine. Project C.U.R.E. will continue to provide Ukraine with ongoing support, thanks to our faithful volunteers!

St. Mark’s Catholic Church 8th Annual Spaghetti Dinner – October 28, 2022
In Independence, Missouri, St. Mark’s Catholic Church hosted the 8th annual Spaghetti Dinner to raise money for Project C.U.R.E. The event was a great success with nearly 100 people attending to enjoy a great meal for an even better cause. Thanks to everyone who attended, $30,000 was raised which was enough to send a 40’ container filled with medical supplies and equipment to an under-resourced community!
