The ongoing efforts of supporters like you allow Physicians for Peace to send missions into the field, and continue our education and care programs around the globe. Joining a mission team is not the only way to help. Personal fundraising initiatives, and limb and eyeglass drives, are simple and caring ways to help those in need a world away. Here are suggestions for ways you can take action.

For help with getting started with any of the following fundraising efforts, contact our Special Events and Volunteer Programs Manager at sray@physiciansforpeace.org
