About the Program
Rural Action’s Zero Waste program prides itself on ensuring that nothing that could be reused goes to waste. In the case of medical supplies, we take an extreme amount of caution, coupled with a plethora of experience, to make absolutely certain that the medical supplies we receive via our donation program finds its way into the hands of individuals who need them the most.
The medical supplies that we collect ranges from used crutches, wheelchairs, hospital beds and bedframes, as well as more expensive devices like CPAPs and Hoyer Lift. We also accept and redistribute new and unopened soft goods like bandages, adult diapers, gauze. All of these items can be accepted into our medical donation program.
