CLM Community Action Agency operates a free medical-equipment loan closet and explicitly accepts equipment donations. Depending on inventory, the program makes wheelchairs, walkers, toilet-seat risers, shower chairs and other assistive devices available for community use. It can be a useful specialized destination when an estate contains durable medical equipment in reusable condition. For executors, administrators and families clearing a residence, this can provide a focused outlet for qualifying estate property that matches the organization’s current needs.

This is not a general household donation center. Donors should contact the agency before bringing equipment to verify that the item is needed, complete, clean and within available storage capacity. The program notes that equipment availability varies. Save a trip! Call CLM Community Action Agency Medical Equipment Loan Closet first to confirm hours and that they are accepting what you’re bringing.
