Donate Product
Global Links collaborates with U.S. hospitals, healthcare facilities, and the community to recover surplus medical materials that would otherwise be discarded due to changes in technology, vendors, or treatment regimens, or because of hospital regulations. Through these collaborations, Global Links keeps over 250 tons of medical materials out of landfills every year and donates them throughout the hemisphere to improve health in targeted programs.
Hospital and Healthcare Facility Donations
Global Links works with facilities in Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia and Ohio to recover still-useful medical supplies, furnishings and equipment. To donate medical product or for more information on establishing a medical supply recovery program, please contact Global Links Medical Outreach Manager.

Community/Home Healthcare Donations
Global Links collects home healthcare equipment including wheelchairs, crutches, canes, folding walkers, shower benches and nebulizers (breathing machines for asthma), which we send to resource-poor communities in developing countries. We are unable to accept thermometers or blood pressure units containing mercury, medications, homecare beds, or glucometers. Please see the community donation guidelines for more information.
Homecare donations can be dropped off at Global Links Office/Sorting Facility, 4809 Penn Avenue Monday through Friday, 9:00 to 4:00. These donations may also be dropped off at Construction Junction, 214 N. Lexington St., Pittsburgh 15208, weekdays from 8:00 to 5:00, Saturday 9:00 to 5:00, and Sunday 11:00 to 4:00. Or bring your donations to one of the upcoming Hard-To-Recycle collections.
In addition, anyone can support our work and improve global healthcare by organizing a Global Links community collection.
