ORGANIZATION: Hospital for Special Care

  • 10 people are interested

The Equipment Exchange receives donated durable medical equipment, refurbishes and distributes it free of charge to community members in need. Wheelchairs, walkers, tub benches, canes and commodes are examples. Volunteers are needed to return messages, accept inventory, and distribute equipment.

Enjoy the satisfaction of providing a service that saves money for people in need of expensive medical equipment. Be part of our mission to rebuild lives!

Scheduling is flexible, about 2 hours once a week on an assigned day at a time that is convenient. Two friends working together are welcome. One with computer skills to enter data into a simple excel spreadsheet and the other to perform minimal cleaning of equipment and minor repairs. Individual volunteers are also welcome.

The program is growing and more help is needed!
