Question

Where can i donate a wheelchair??

Answer 1

Everyone with an elderly parent needs one of these for 1 week or 1 year. Then they sit in the garage.  I would put it on Craigslist.org to see if a poor family might desperately need it.  Then i would go to the County Nursing Home.  They need it. /

Answer 2

Call the local United Way and ask if there is a disabilities resource center type place in your area.  These are groups that loan or give wheelchairs, walkers, hospital beds, and other disability and adaptive aids to people who need them long or short term.   If there is not consider donating it to a local free clinic or to a senior center or offer it on Freecycle.  To find Freecycle go to main Yahoo page click groups on left and look for a Freecycle group in your area.  Because Freecycle is an individual to individual program Freecycle gifts are not tax deductible.    Nursing homes have access to Medicare and Medicaid paid equipment so unless there is one near you that specializes low income people there probably is little need there.
