The Stavros Center for Independent Living has been running a durable medical equipment (DME) reuse program for several years. Partially funded with MassMATCH AT grant funds it accepts donations of gently used equipment, refurbishes it and gives to individuals with a need for the device.
In July 2013 they gave away;
5 power chairs
10 manual wheelchairs
2 “hospital” beds
2 shower chairs
They also received donated equipment:
