In the last thirteen years, Afya has rescued over 11 million pounds of usable medical supplies and equipment that would have gone to US landfills. We focus on a holistic approach to sourcing supplies, and recognize that providers require a range of materials to match their diverse needs. Even if you don’t have a high tech EKG machine (which we would gladly accept) you might be surprised to learn you already have access to life-saving materials. Please consult the list of acceptable and unacceptable materials below, and submit a material donation form if you would like to make a donation.
Afya is able to pick up donations from individual homes when the donation includes a hospital bed and the home is within a one hour driving radius of Yonkers. Otherwise, individuals should mail or drop-off donations to the Yonkers warehouse. We are happy to work with healthcare facilities, clinics, or other organizations to begin material donation partnerships.
