MEDWorld Warehouse

All MEDWorld supplies are inspected, inventoried and packaged at the MEDWorld warehouse. All donations are made from the warehouse. Supplies are donated in individual boxes or several boxes loaded on to a wooden board for easy transport. Each wooden board contains approximately 15 boxes and measures approximately 4’x5’. The warehouse has levers to help load the boxes, however all trucks used for supply pick ups must have a loading ramp or a similar device which can be used to connect the truck to the warehouse ramp.

The warehouse address is:
#1 Ashley Wade Ln / Smith Level Road
Chapel Hill, NC 27514
