Event Description:

One Brick will be helping to build a computerized inventory of donated supplies so that hospitals and clinics that serve the poor around the world can order what they need.

Volunteers will sort donated medical supplies into barrels of similar items. The barrels are then sorted down to boxes of the exact same item. Those boxes are then entered into a computerized inventory.
