They provide recyclable medical supplies to clinics and doctors in need. Great organization.

I love volunteering at MedShare. Staff and volunteers are hardworking, friendly and enthusiastic. Their mission (not only reallocating surplus medical supplies but also minimizing landfill by aggressive recycling) is in tune with my priorities. Great organization.

Great place to spend 1/2 day volunteering. Typically volunteers would be responsible for unboxing/unpacking donated, medical supplies, then sorting (test tubes, test kits, expired packages vs. not, etc.). Supplies are typically donated by hospitals with excess or unused or no-longer needed inventory. After which, volunteers can put sorted items into boxes, count and label and prepare for shipment.

Do you take unused unexpired colostomy bags and materials. I have approximately 60-70 bags and lots barrier creams and stoma powders. I would be happy to drop them off at your distribution center. Or can we just go there to it them drop off?

They did for us.

If your hours don't work for me do you have an any kind of secure drop bin?

I don't think that they do...but if you call it may be possible to coordinate a Saturday.

Do you accept unused, unexpired equipment left over from a Home Healthcare Registered Nurse? Items include Foley catheters, straight caths, wound care/dressings, syringes, blood draw equipment, pooling bags, NG tubes and a million more things.

Medshare accepts all of those things. They do not accept drugs and pharmaceuticals.

I saw the good work your organization is doing, in tv this morning. I live I San Leandro and would like to join as a volunteer to your organization. How do I sign up?
