MESA was formed in 1981 by the Avon, Avon Lake Rotary and all the other Rotary clubs of Northwest Ohio. With the support of local communities and medical groups, MESA has the resources to collect, sort, identify, store and ship millions of dollars of still usable medical supplies and equipment. This includes used but usable dialysis machines, surgical tables, x-ray machines, crutches, walkers, and more. Each year MESA makes or facilitates numerous shipments or projects to countries all over the world, especially in Central America. Generally the projects relate to urgent healthcare needs.  But it has been expanded to supply blankets and through their subsidiary Resource Centers International supplies computers and education related materials.

North Coast Rotary typically organizes several collection drives each year.  Recently Sprenger Healthcare in Avon Lake has collaborated with us to facilitate storage and collection of donated items.

Anyone wishing to donate funds or used equipment contact: northcoastrotaryfoundation@gmail.com
