New Windsor, Maryland, Oct. 20, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Catholic Medical Mission Board (CMMB) is relocating its Distribution Center to a new home at the Brethren Service Center in New Windsor, Maryland, marking a significant step in the organization's mission to expand access to essential medicines and medical supplies for underserved communities globally.
The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new facility will take place on Thursday, October 22, at 3 p.m. (Eastern time), at 601 Main Street, New Windsor. CMMB CEO Mary Beth Powers and Church of the Brethren General Secretary David Steele will address the attendees, who will also have the opportunity to assemble hygiene kits to support communities in need.
This relocation is part of CMMB's ongoing efforts to enhance its operational capacity and improve accessibility for donors and logistics partners. The new Distribution Center will provide CMMB with expanded space and resources, enabling the organization to serve more communities worldwide. In 2025, CMMB distributed $243.5 million worth of medicines and medical supplies to 64 partners across 28 countries, contributing to essential services such as mother-baby care, treatment for noncommunicable diseases, and emergency medical response.
The Brethren Service Center, owned and operated by the Church of the Brethren, is a hub for various organizations focused on disaster response, relief and development, and leadership development for justice, nonviolence, and peacebuilding. CMMB's Access to Medicines Program adds to more than 65 years of humanitarian work on the campus, serving neighbors near and far.
CMMB is excited to join the community alongside the Church of the Brethren. Members of the public are welcome to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
