Chairs for Charity

April 2009

As part of our 10th anniversary celebration, Progressive Medical Equipment is teaming up with 10 area health care facilities to conduct a food drive. Progressive rehab reps will be placing a manual wheelchair with a Harvesters box secured in the seat at each of the 10 facilities. Employees, vendors and visitors of these locations can donate non-perishable food items by dropping items in the boxes from April 20-24, 2009.

At the end of the week, Progressive will collect the food items and deliver them to Harvesters in Kansas City, or Operation Food Search in St. Louis for distribution throughout the community. Progressive Medical Equipment will then donate the 10 wheelchairs to Cancer Action, a not-for-profit agency offering comprehensive services and programs to our community members and their families who are coping with cancer.

If community members would like to help Progressive Medical Equipment celebrate by donating food items, they can find wheelchair collection tubs at the following locations:
