WORCESTER — A volunteer group at the Worcester Senior Center is seeking donations of gently used wheelchairs, walkers, canes and crutches to send to the victims of the earthquake in Haiti.
The Retired Senior Volunteer Program’s Worcester Area Volunteers are organizing the donation drive. The items will be shipped by the International Medical Equipment Collaborative in North Andover to the Dominican Republic. The items will then be driven to Port-au-Prince, at the epicenter of the disaster.
Items may be dropped off at the Worcester Senior Center, 128 Providence St., starting Tuesday. The center is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday. RSVP health and safety coordinator Rita Sullivan said donations will be kept at the senior center until Feb. 12, when they will be picked up and sent on their way to Haiti. For more information, call Ms. Sullivan at (508) 791-7787.
