PRODUCT DONATIONS

World Medical Relief operates programs that help sick and poor people all around the world. We started collecting surplus medical resources in 1953. We collect usable medical equipment, dental equipment, medical supplies, instruments, and prescriptions that are donated by hospitals, clinics, physician offices, companies, and individuals. The donations you make are used to help the poor and are good for environment.

 

We accept used medical equipment, medical supplies of all types, and prescription medicines including, but not limited to, the items listed below. If you have questions about an item you would like to donate, please call us or fill out our product donation form. Donations are accepted at our offices at 21725 Melrose Avenue, Southfield, Michigan 48075. If you are not able to drop off your donation, larger & valuable items can be scheduled for local pick-up by one of our drivers in the Metro-Detroit area. We also accept mail-in product donations.
