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 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 that serve at Loma Linda University Health International Partner Sites as physicians, dentists, hospital administrators, nurses and public health educators.
Care packages are collected and shipped by Loma Linda University Health’s Global Health Institute (GHI).
Here’s how it works:
- Choose a missionary/family & pick up a shipping box and shopping list from the GHI office at 24888 Prospect Ave., starting Fri., Nov. 14, 2025.
