What is a Loan Closet?
-
Loan closets loan medical equipment to people for free, or at low-cost
-
Most programs receive their equipment from individuals who have acquired the equipment and no longer need it.
-
Loan closets typically have durable medical equipment (DME) such as wheelchairs, shower chairs, bedside commodes, walkers, crutches, canes, and high-rise toilet seats. Some may have hospital beds or electric wheelchairs available too. Each loan closet is unique, with its own set of eligibility requirements, equipment, and loan period.

Call first to see if the organization has the equipment you need
Loan Closet inventories change quickly, dependent upon donations and demand for the equipment. It is always a good idea to call an organization first to see if they have the equipment you need before going there.
Please make sure you meet the eligibility requirements before you ask to borrow equipment from an organization. Sometimes an organization's funding restricts whom they may serve. Other times organizations have a very limited supply of equipment to loan, so they need to make sure it is available for their communities.
