Buffalo Lake Healthcare Center – Home Equipment Loan Program is a Minnesota donation resource in Renville County that accepts qualifying medical, mobility, or assistive equipment for reuse. Examples documented for this program include walkers, commodes, bathtub rails, bath chairs and benches, wheelchairs, crutches, and canes. Donated equipment should generally be clean, safe, and in usable condition. The organization states that donations of medical equipment are welcome; call to confirm what the loan program currently needs. 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.
