Community Partnerships
We are making an effort to expand our strategic partnerships with community organizations that serve historically disadvantaged populations. Our overall view is that strategic partnerships will strengthen our collective ability to serve disadvantaged populations, together. We are grateful to be in ongoing strategic partnerships with community leaders, including Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, Kent Intermediate School District, and Department of Corrections, among many others.
- Host an equipment drive or pop-up event

Community Partnership Signup
Volunteer
As a volunteer, not only will you know you’ve helped change someone’s life, you’ll develop a stronger sense of community. It’s the little things–from washing cushions to donating time or expertise to driving to pick up a chair–that make a big difference.
Check out the current opportunities we have available here and feel free to apply.
“A mutually beneficial partnership exists between Western Michigan University's Occupational Therapy program and Renew Mobility. Students clean equipment and contribute to inventory management while learning about wheelchair types, parts, and accessories."

We welcome donations from outside our core counties (Allegan, Kent, Montcalm, Ionia, Barry, Muskegon, Newaygo, and Ottawa). However, we kindly ask that donors outside this area deliver equipment to our office so we can better serve our clients and make the most of our time.

Donations are tax deductible. IRS publication 561 specifically addresses how to determine the value of donated property.
We typically schedule out ~2 weeks for equipment donation pickups. Have questions? Read the FAQ.
