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!!

Medical Equipment & Supplies Collection and EMPTY BOWLS By the Lake

/ northcoastrotary

Rotarians supported two events on Saturday October 19th.  Sprenger Towne Center made available storage and a pick-up location for used but usable medical equipment.  Thanks to Sprenger and many donations from our communities, we were able to fill a truck with walkers, bath chairs, wheelchairs, a hospital bed, dental equipment and more. Big Frog donated a box of scrubs and several boxes of shirts which are always needed. At this time, Rotary is seeking a location to store future collections.  Once identified we will again accept used but usable medical equipment for this initiative.

Also on Saturday, several Rotarians picked-up soup and served soup with many other volunteers at the successful EMPTY BOWLS by the Lake fundraiser where all proceeds benefited Second Harvest Food Bank, Avon/Avon Lake CRS, Commodore Cupboard & other local food banks.

Once again Sprenger Towne Center, Anne Naumann, Becki Russell and staff, are collaborating with North Coast Rotary to collect used and usable medical equipment.  Bring donations to 200 Community Drive, the Clubhouse at Sprenger Towne Center on Saturday October 19th from 10 AM – Noon.  Rotarians will help unload your items and our Rotary Medical Equipment Supplies Abroad truck will take them for storage in our MESA Warehouse in Fostoria Ohio.  Any items that can be used domestically are shared with organizations here.  Shipments to countries in need occur regularly. The most recent shipment was to Ukraine in September.  We thank you in advance for your support!

Thank you Sprenger and CRS for donations to MESA

MESA – Medical Equipment and Supplies Abroad is a 501(c)3 organization formed in 1981 by the Rotary Clubs of Ohio District 6600.  North Coast has been supporting MESA with used but usable medical supplies, clothing, educational resources and more donated by our community members, donors from Community Resource Services, and local businesses and stored in a trailer made available by Rotarian Doug Maurer.  Sprenger Healthcare Towne Center also collected equipment and supplies, stored them locally and made them available for a collection day in August. At MESA’s warehouse in Fostoria, Ohio, donations are sorted, stored and subsequently into a shipping container destined for a port of a local rotary club for distribution. This year over 30 containers have been shipped including 12 to Ukraine.

Rotarians also provide financial support and participate in MESA’s annual bike ride fundraiser. This year cyclists rode through our service areas and Tri-C Westshore generously hosted North Coast Rotarians and the MESA bike riders for lunch.  

North Coast Rotary will be continuing to collect used but usable medical supplies for MESA.
