Upcoming Durable Medical Items Drive

On Saturday, September 21, 2024, the St. Veronica Knights of
Columbus Council 12579 will again hold a donation drive collecting
durable medical equipment, which the Council will deliver to Medical
Missionaries of Manassas, VA. The collection will take place at the
parish office side parking lot, 9-11 AM. The Knights will be pleased to
receive from you:
· clean used manual wheelchairs, cane, crutches, walkers, splints and
braces, manual scales, and toilet attachments;
· unused dressings, bandages, disposable diapers, exam gloves, wipes,
and other packaged disposable medical care items; and
· over the counter unopened medication with an expiration date of at
least 6 months
The Knights may not accept syringes, prescription medicines, any
electric-powered items, drainage systems, feeding tube items, or broken
items. Our point of contact is Frank Brickfield, MD, 703-597-9621,

directly to them as well. See their website at https://
