Great group that helps the community immensely by sanitizing used medical equipment and redistributing to people in need. Keeps it out of the landfill and supports the community’s needs.

They are very kind. The place is kinda hidden, it's located behind a building that shows 3100, and you can see shatters of the bulding when you go behind it, and the place is the opposite side.
