Dole Food Company partners with MedShare to ship medical aid to Honduras

Dole Food Company, through its shipping division, Dole Ocean Cargo Express, announced today it has partnered with MedShare, a nonprofit organization, to assist in shipping unused, unexpired surplus medical supplies and equipment to Latin America. The first shipment went to Honduras in December 2008…"We are very grateful to Dole for this initial shipment and look forward to working with them on future shipments to Latin America," said Chuck Haupt, Executive Director of MedShare's Western Region… These life-saving supplies will help improve the community's health status, thus enhancing productivity, academic achievement and living conditions.
