The Rotary Club of Tahoe-Incline, in partnership with the Incline Village Interact Club, made up of local youth leaders, is hosting a community-wide mobility equipment collection to support Crutches 4 Africa, a nonprofit organization that provides life-changing mobility aids to people in underserved nations across Africa.
The program collects gently used mobility equipment and redistributes it to individuals who otherwise would have no access to medical mobility support. These donations help restore independence, dignity, and opportunity while also reducing waste by keeping usable equipment out of local landfills.
The Rotary and Interact Clubs are encouraging residents to clean out garages and storage spaces and donate items such as crutches, elbow crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, rollators, leg braces, prosthetic limbs, aircast walker boots, and ski poles.
