Current Events in
Arizona
Project C.U.R.E. Arizona is preparing to move into our first permanent building
in Chandler by the summer of 2008. This donated building will be a permanent
home for our Regional Office and Sorting Center. Even though our generous donor
has agreed to build the exterior, we still need help to complete the
interior. We are looking for businesses and individuals who can donate supplies
or labor to finish this building with excellence.

Project C.U.R.E.
Arizona Dr. Jim Jackson, Project C.U.R.E. s Founder, has
lifelong friends in Phoenix, AZ. As Project C.U.R.E. was growing in Denver
during the early 1990's, Jim asked his friend, Vern Gibson, to start collecting
medical supplies. On a visit to Phoenix, Jim and Vern visited the largest
hospital in town to request supplies and equipment. Within 3 days, St. Joseph's
Hospital began calling to have items picked up. Soon Vern had more than he
could store in his garage. So he found some donated warehouse space and opened
the first Project C.U.R.E. facility in Arizona. In 1994 the very first two carg
containers were shipped from Phoenix.
Vern Gibson
moved to Indiana in 1998 two volunteers stepped up to keep Project C.U.R.E.
moving forward. Clyde and Margo Nissly have been collecting surplus medical
supplies in Arizona for Project C.U.R.E. since 1997. In 2002 the Nissly s and a
few other volunteers successfully sorted, loaded and shipped six containers of
medical supplies, worth more than 3 million dollars.
