"ReCARES was able to match my medical equipment needs with efficiency and accuracy. Their online matching system is easy to use and connected me to the right donors quickly, and the staff are always helpful and responsive. I am very grateful for kind hearted people who volunteer at and donate to ReCARES. They reminded me to be generous and compassionate even towards complete strangers in need."

"THANK YOU! To the Volunteers at Recares holding it down!! I have a leg injury and went to try and find a scooter to use in place of crutches. While I was there, the team grabbed me a knee scooter, made the height adjustments so it would fit me properly. While I was there, two other individuals came in seeking the team, one was an Abuela who came by to drop off snacks to the team as they’ve helped her with medical supplies, and another was someone seeking an item for their family member. The team was so kind and assisted us all so quickly and make me feel so blessed to have this resource. THANK YOU!!"

"This place is a lifesaver and we appreciate the volunteers so much! My husband needed a walker, shower transfer chair, and a commode and we were able to pick these items up for free with one trip. Now that we're done with them, we cleaned them thoroughly and gave them back. We saved hundreds of dollars vs buying all of these items new. THANK YOU!!"
