A.C.E. of Southwest Minnesota – Rock County Medical Equipment Program is a Minnesota donation resource in Rock County that accepts qualifying medical, mobility, or assistive equipment for reuse. Examples documented for this program include two-wheel and four-wheel walkers, wheelchairs, toilet seat risers, commodes, shower chairs, crutches, and canes. Donated equipment should generally be clean, safe, and in usable condition. Donation is by appointment because equipment is stored offsite; only good-condition equipment in the program’s accepted categories should be offered. This is a specialized donation option rather than a general household-goods outlet, so executors should separate qualifying health and mobility items from the rest of an estate before delivery.

For executors and families clearing a residence, a medical-equipment reuse program can keep useful equipment in circulation while providing an appropriate local destination for items that many ordinary thrift stores will not accept. Save a trip! Call first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
