Building a Bridge of Care to Southern California

MedCycle Network’s First Delivery to Venice Family Clinic

At a time when healthcare access is under threat for millions of Californians, MedCycle Network is expanding our impact—one delivery, one clinic at a time. This month, we’re proud to share a milestone: our very first delivery of high-quality surplus medical supplies to Venice Family Clinic, an innovative community health center serving Los Angeles for more than 50 years.

A New Chapter Begins in LA

With this delivery, MedCycle Network officially launches its Southern California program, deepening our commitment to ensure that resources go to patient care. Venice Family Clinic, rooted in equity and compassion, opens its doors to more than 45,000 Angelenos each year—offering medical, dental, mental health, and supportive services regardless of income or insurance status.

What We Delivered—and Why It Matters

Our inaugural shipment included 1,000 SafetyGlide injection needles and 800 small extended cuff gloves—items requested directly by Venice Family Clinic’s care teams. These aren’t just boxes on a cart; they’re lifelines. Every glove helps protect a provider and a patient. Every needle enables safe, effective care for people who might otherwise go without the care they deserve.

"We are incredibly grateful to MedCycle Network for their generous in-kind donation of needles and gloves”, said Jose Flores, manager of individual and corporate philanthropy. “This support helps ensure that our patients receive safe, high-quality care and demonstrates our shared commitment to health equity and community wellness."

Meeting the Moment—Together

As federal policies threaten the safety net that so many rely on, MedCycle Network is moving quickly to get resources where they are needed. By launching our SoCal program, we’re building a bridge between hospitals with surplus and clinics like Venice Family Clinic that are on the frontlines of community health.

This is just the beginning. Our vision is a California where every surplus item helps provide care, strengthen a clinic, and protect our environment.
