Article: From St. Paul to world's needy; Nonprofit collects medical supplies.(NEWS)

Byline: Joe Kimball; Staff Writer

The 92-year-old brick warehouse on the east edge of downtown St. Paul is empty now, but soon it will be full of people filling packages with bandages, latex gloves, surgical supplies and other medical equipment for needy hospitals around the world.

There is even room for a spare MRI machine or old hospital beds, if someone wants to contribute.

The warehouse at 178 E. 9th St. - an old print shop with boarded-up windows - will be the newest depot for Project C.U.R.E., a Denver-based nonprofit that collects excess medical supplies in the United States and ships them to hospitals and clinics in 92 countries.
