The Cardboard Pharmacy is a great group, business or church project to collect much needed over-the-counter medicines!

FAME’s short-term mission teams take these medicines in their luggage to get them to the field quickly. Each year our teams carry in more than 2 tons of medical supplies.

Why a “Cardboard Pharmacy”?

Because of FDA standards, the quality of the medicines in America are often better than in other parts of the world. We are blessed to have the best health care available in the world!
