Volunteer
As a MAP volunteer, you become an essential part of our global mission, helping deliver medicine, health supplies, and medical devices to communities in need around the world. From supporting healthcare providers in remote clinics to preparing shipments that respond to urgent needs, your service helps bring hope and health where access is limited.
Join us in delivering hope to people who need it most.

Frequently asked questions
How do I sign up to volunteer?
Click the sign-up link to register as an individual or a community organization.
Is there an age requirement to volunteer?
No. Volunteers of all ages are welcome — some of our youngest are elementary students serving alongside a parent, and our oldest volunteer is 92 years young. Volunteers under 17 need parental consent, and a parent or legal guardian must remain with them throughout the session.
What will I be doing?
Roles vary by project: assembling Disaster Health Kits or medicine packs, sorting and packing supplies, restocking workstations, preparing completed shipments, welcoming guests, front-desk help and light administrative tasks.
Can I bring other people to volunteer?
Yes. Register as a group rather than an individual on the sign-up form and a MAP team member will contact you.
How long do volunteer shifts last?
Most opportunities last about 2–3 hours. During an active emergency response, extended sessions may be available and are communicated in advance.
When can I volunteer?
We host Disaster Health Kit packing events at our distribution center in Brunswick, Georgia on a regular basis. Complete the sign-up form and a MAP team member will help you find a date.
What should I wear?
Closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing you can stretch, bend, lift and kneel in safely. Please keep clothing appropriate for a family-friendly environment.
What are the headquarters and distribution center rules?
A brief orientation opens every session. Three principles throughout: put safety first, follow instructions, and communicate openly with your team.
How do I volunteer with a group?
Indicate your estimated group size on the sign-up form — family, church, school, business or community organization — and a MAP team member will coordinate your visit.
What happens if I’m late to my shift?
Call the MAP staff member who has been communicating with you. They will help you determine whether adjustments can be made or whether you need to reschedule.
