This nonprofit organization plays a vital role in assisting individuals with Multiple Sclerosis who face financial hardships by refurbishing donated medical equipment for a suggested minimum donation. Richard Marin, the president of MSHH, emphasizes the rewarding nature of volunteering, highlighting that it allows individuals to apply their skills while significantly impacting the lives of those with disabilities. Volunteers are needed to help run the store from Tuesday to Saturday, between 10 a. m.
