Help SOS Spread Health & Hope!

Donate Items And Change A Life

In addition to the 500,000 lbs of supplies SOS collects annually from regional hospitals, SOS also receives thousands of items annually from individuals just like you. Every one of them goes to someone in desperate need in our own backyard or across the globe and recycles rather than adding waste to landfills!

Our Donation Process

What We Need

SOS looks for useable and needed supplies that meet high standards for repurposing. All mobility aids and medical equipment must be in good working condition with all pieces necessary for operation. Some supplies can be accepted in open boxes as long as items inside are unused.

Pre-Screen

We recommend calling or emailing first if there are any questions about useability or condition– or if you have items not listed below. Some items that can’t be accepted for humans can be used in animal welfare organizations! Email info@soshealthandhope.org or call 502.736.6360.

Drop-Offs

SOS accepts donations Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM at our headquarters at 1500 Arlington Avenue. We are happy to help with unloading. Those with larger items are often directed to our garage where our warehouse staff will assist.

Receipts

We gladly provide donation receipts for tax purposes upon request.
