On Sunday, November 18th (the week before Thanksgiving!) from 8am until 8pm, the AFYA Foundation will be hosting their annual Sortathon! During this year’s Sortathon, entitled “Help Afya Keep on Truckin,” volunteers will be coming together to sort and pack hundreds of boxes bound for Haiti and Africa. Join them at 140 Saw Mill River Road, Yonkers, NY 10701 for  food, speakers, and live music!

The AFYA Foundation draws on the experience of committed health professionals, business leaders, media pioneers, and global visionaries. They partner with a network of donor hospitals, health organizations, corporations, and individual households for the collection of medical supplies and humanitarian provisions. AFYA has implemented citywide strategies to pick up supplies that save lives abroad. Together with Saving Mothers, they are specifically working to offer safe and successful delivery for thousands of mothers-to-be in Liberia and Guatemala. www.afyafoundation.org
