In the United States, there’s a huge wealth of usable medical equipment and supplies that are no longer in use. Some may be in a local hospital, a physician or dentist office, a nursing home, a storage room, or even your own garage.
Your financial contributions help cover the costs for shipping (approximately $7,000 – $12,000 per shipment) and the warehouse costs.
Each year riders tour one fourth of our Rotary District on a revolving basis for a five day ride. Riders can participate for one day or up to all five days. Rotarians and friends of MESA can participate by sponsoring a rider.
To learn more go to MESA’s homepage section on Rotary Tour for MESA and click on the Learn More button. There you will find more information including a Tour flyer, Rider Registration form and a MESA Donation Form to support a rider.
The Rotary Tour for MESA has been a major source of support for MESA for 20 years. The Tour supports MESA’s lifesaving mission mile by mile.
It really helps people all over the world and helps recycle medical equipment rather than being thrown away or discarded. It’s good environmentally, it’s good economically, and it’s good medically.”
