ORGANIZATION: Medical Equipment Recycling Program (MERP)



MERP (Medical Equipment Recycling Program) in Santa Rosa is seeking volunteers who can commit to at least one Wednesday per month, receiving and distributing medical equipment and supplies from our location on Standish Avenue. Each Wednesday we open up our four shipping containers in the parking lot, where people can drop off their unneeded medical supplies such as wheelchairs, shower chairs, adult diapers, hospice supplies, and other assistive devices that might be used to care for someone in their home. We invite the public to come and take the supplies that they need. All items are free, but donations are accepted (and help pay our space rent). Volunteers assist with opening and closing the shipping containers, receiving and organizing donated medical supplies, cleaning and assembling equipment, and also help customers who come by looking for medical equipment and supplies. Everyone who works at MERP is a volunteer. Many of our volunteers are retired, or work in senior-related businesses. We have four or five volunteers on site each week. The full shift is 10:30am - 2:15pm on Wednesdays. Volunteers can also choose to work the first half or last half of the shift. Volunteers must be able to stand and walk around outside for most of their shift. Must be able to lift 10 lbs. Must be able to communicate with other volunteers and customers. Knowledge of medical equipment and at-home caregiving supplies is helpful, but not required. Dress code; casual, outdoor-appropriate, sensible shoes. Name badge provided. Bring sack lunch. Restrooms available 100 yds away. We all feel very fortunate to have this opportunity to help people in need in our community, and hope others will want to join us. As our Equipment Coordinator said, "We hand out wheelchairs, and occasional hugs." www.sonomamerp.com
