Thank you for the Used but Usable Medical Equipment!

In collaboration with Sprenger Health Care, Good Neighbor Thrift Shop, and numerous community donors, North Coast Rotary in coordination with our District 6600 MESA team, received an incredible amount of equipment and supplies. Two Saturdays ago, we filled a truck, and last Saturday, we loaded a second one with hospital beds, wheelchairs, shower chairs, hoyer lifts, walkers, CPAP machines, and more.

All these amazing items will be carefully checked, cleaned, fixed if needed, and stored at the Rotary District 6600 MESA warehouse in Fostoria. Once everything is ready, the MESA team will ship it to countries in need.

We couldn’t have done this without the incredible support of individual donors and our community partners!!
