GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — World Hearing Day is March 3, and a local nonprofit has launched a new program to help the deaf and hard of hearing.
Quota Club of Grand Rapids says its HEAR NOW initiative collects used hearing aids that will be recycled and distributed to individuals with low income.
We’re told hearing aids are collected in designated collection boxes found throughout the area. Email Kathy Freeman at kmkfreeman@gmail.com for box locations.
Quota Club GR says it has collected more than 1,000 hearing aids and 400 batteries so far.
