Home CARES Equipment Recyclers, the RACORSE Network

Home CARES Equipment Recyclers, operating in the S.F. Bay Area only, collects and then redistributes donated new and used home healthcare and medical equipment and supplies- everthing from hospital beds on down to walking canes. These are then distributed to the uninsured, the disadvantaged, ill and elderly so that they may cope with their situations safely, in comfort and with dignity. Home CARES Equipment Recyclers is a project of the RACORSE Network, an Oakland, CA, based non-profit which seeks to address environmental issues arising from the medical and healthcare industries (waste in hospitals for example). The Home CARES Equipment Recyclers program seeks to encourage sound management of medical resources thus promoting sound management of the Earth's resources, at the same time achieving greater equality of access to healthcare for everyone. There are two sites for Home CARES, currently we are located in San Francisco and in Oakland. We accept and distribute equipment at both sites.
