Sponsor a Christmas care package for our Missionaries serving overseas

The “Give to a Giver” project is an opportunity for individuals, departments, or groups to spread holiday cheer around the world by sending a little reminder of home to over 30 Loma Linda University Health overseas missionaries and their families.

These missionaries are Loma Linda University alumni, Global Service Awardees (GSA)Deferred Mission Appointees (DMA), or Adventist Health International (AHI) long-term volunteers who serve at Loma Linda University Health International Partner Sites as physicians, dentists, hospital administrators, nurses, and public health educators.
