INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP SUPPLY DONORS
Please Review List of Supplies that Individuals and Groups Can Collect
Schools and Universities:
Classroom, dorm beds and mattresses and room furniture can also be donated.
Individuals:
There are numerous reasons why individuals make donations of medical and humanitarian supplies. One reason is that a family member who was cared for at home passed away, and the family finds themselves faced with the challenge of disposing wheelchairs, walkers, commodes, nebulizers, adult diapers, chux, consumables, etc.
These types of items are extremely valuable to elderly people and the disabled in developing nations, as they can improve mobility and quality of life in a way that nothing else can. In addition, as we are responding to natural disasters in Haiti and Pakistan, many people are donating clean blankets and linens, sleeping bags, tents, tarps, toiletries, diapers, feminine hygiene products and other products.
Please check Afya's home page for updates about urgently needed supplies.
To help offset the cost of processing and shipping these donations, we ask everyone to consider making a financial donation.
Groups, families, organizations, companies:
Afya also encourages groups who want to get involved to lead collections of medical and humanitarian supplies – clean blankets and linens, sleeping bags, tents, tarps, toiletries, diapers, feminine hygiene products.
We have also found that if the group collecting items is located in the Metropolitan New York area, they find that coming to our warehouse to help sort and pack these items is an incredibly gratifying experience – it completes the cycle of altruism when people can see their donations packed and ready for shipment.
