Since 2013, REquipment has made a significant impact across Massachusetts—refurbishing and distributing over 13,000 donated devices, returning $20 million in value to the community, and keeping hundreds of tons of equipment out of landfills.

Our most requested items include wheelchairs, rollators, and shower chairs. The most expensive devices—power wheelchairs once valued up to $64,000—are refurbished and distributed for under $700. In 2023, we expanded our inventory to include assistive technology like magnifiers, grabbers, and pill reminders.
