Provide supplies for patient and clinical care
Donated supplies help us to take the best care of our patients and run the clinic with minimal overhead costs. Here are some of the most common needs:
-
Care kits - including personal hygiene items for our patients. (shampoo, soap, toothbrush/paste, comb or brush, socks) Full-sized or travel sized are good.
-
OTC Medications (sealed/unopened) vitamins, hydrocortisone, ibuprofen, triple antibiotic cream, cough drops and sugar free cough drops, allergy meds, nasal or saline sprays.
-
Office and Cleaning supplies - cleaning wipes, stethoscopes, medium gloves, pens, highlighters, transparent tape, copy paper, garbage bags, paper towels, toilet paper, hand soaps/ gel sanitizers are all frequently used items.
-
Occasional medical equipment - we have limited storage for these items but sometimes have patients who need items like walkers or shower chairs.
