Recares

Based in the Mission neighborhood of San Francisco, Recares provides free loans and donations of used medical equipment for people across San Francisco and the Bay Area. Our team works with you from the start, taking your details, such as height, weight, and the type of equipment you need, and then calling you when a suitable match becomes available.

Donors can drop off equipment they no longer need, and we pass it along to someone who needs it, often at no cost to them, which is especially helpful for people without insurance. Our volunteers and staff are known for being kind, patient, and quick to help, whether you're recovering from surgery, living with a chronic condition, or looking for an item for a family member.

To get started, stop by our Mission location or call us to ask about the equipment you're looking for.
