Adaptive Equipment Collection by Works of Mercy

• Are you aware that some people return to their homes from hospitals and care facilities who need some type of adaptive or medical equipment or medical supplies to maintain safety and independence?
• Some return home in a weakened state and cannot stand up without assistance from a chair let alone trying to stand up from a regular height toilet.
• Some may live independently or live with a spouse who is unable to assist.
• Some persons may not be able to afford hearing aids or eyeglasses or personal hygiene/medical supplies!

PMHDC Southwest Medical Aid is an organization that gives Adaptive/Medical Equipment and Medical Supplies to individuals free of charge. On the weekend of February 26th and 27th, St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church will collect adaptive healthcare equipment*, medical equipment, and personal hygiene/medical supplies. PMHDC Southwest Medical Aid will then give these donated items free of charge to those who may go without them. Please take a look in your storage spaces to see if you have stored an adaptive/ medical device or hygiene/medical supplies that could be made available to a person at no cost. Please sanitize all equipment before dropping it off. We also collect hearing aids and eyeglasses that will be recycled and given to those in need.
