ReCARES Network

ReCARES is a local community benefit and environmental 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Its mission is to increase access to medical equipment and supplies while decreasing environmental waste. For 30 years, ReCARES Network volunteers have enhanced the quality of life and improved the independence of Bay Area residents by collecting no-longer-needed durable medical equipment and home health care supplies and redistributing those to underserved community members across three Bay Area counties: Marin, Alameda, and San Francisco. Every week, the walkers, wheelchairs, adult diapers, medical supplies, and other items are collected and made available free of charge to local seniors, people with disabilities, and individuals who might have difficulty affording such items. In 2023, we served 8,800 recipients and diverted 28,000 items of medical equipment and supplies from landfills.
