Regional programs

The Foundation works throughout the entire hemisphere via two innovative regional programs. PADF's In-Kind Donation program connects companies, hospitals and other major organizations with communities that need donated products. Meanwhile, its Disaster Management and Emergency Response Program is a conduit so companies can quickly help communities that were devastated by a natural disaster or humanitarian crisis.
