In our area, we have a hospice and some related charities. When mom died, I gathered her breathing equipment and anything else that the equipment companies couldn't take back, and took it to the charity store. The lady in charge asked if I minded if she just handed it off to the nurses that use the store as a base. I found out that they just didn't do hospice, but also home care for those that couldn't afford a hospital or hospice center. I told her to use the stuff as they saw fit.
