ReCARES

ReCARES is a small volunteer-run environmental and community service non-profit organization. We aim to increase access to medical equipment and supplies while reducing unnecessary environmental waste.

We collect donations of clean, gently used medical equipment and supplies, then redistribute them for free to seniors, people with disabilities, and other individuals in need.

What we do:

• collect medical equipment
• collect unused health care supplies
• give it all away

How we do it:

Every week in Oakland, San Francisco, and Marin volunteers gather at our sites to accept donations of durable medical equipment and supplies. We provide the items we collect to people who need them.

Some items are always available such as gait belts, pill boxes, commodes and standard front wheel walkers. We receive daily requests for wheelchairs, walkers with seats, canes and liquid nutritional supplements. Donations of these items rarely keep pace with the numbers of people who need them. We do our best to provide for those with the greatest needs.
